THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS THIS SUMMER!
HERE’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:
FROM CENTENNIAL, MIFFLIN, AND WEST HIGH SCHOOL, WE BROUGHT 73 STUDENTS TO CAMP THIS SUMMER! MANY MET AND HAD INCREDIBLE ENCOUNTERS WITH THE LORD. THIS WAS POSSIBLE THROUGH YOUR PRAYERFUL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT: THANK YOU SO MUCH! WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR AND HUMBLED BY ANOTHER YEAR 0F GETTING TO BRING STUDENTS TO A SAFE SPACE WHERE THEY GET TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS.
NATE WENT TO YOUNG LIFE CAMP THIS SUMMER AND IT CHANGED HIS LIFE. NATE HAD BEEN FRIENDS WITH HIS YOUNG LIFE LEADERS REUBEN AND NATHAN FOR THE PAST YEAR. GOING TO CAMP HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH WHO JESUS WASBUT DID NOT HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. AFTER HEARING THE GOSPEL WITH FRESH EARS, HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO JESUS AT THE END OF THE WEEK!! AFTER MEETING THE LORD HE CAME BACK TO COLUMBUS AND WAS BAPTIZED.
NATE’S STORY REMINDS ME OF WHEN JESUS APPEARED TO HIS DISCIPLES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION IN MATTHEW 28:18-20 “AND JESUS CAME AND SAID TO THEM ‘ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME. GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. AND BEHOLD, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE.”
