Everyone on the team has worked hard to follow up with each
of the 100 kids or so that went to camp, and we’ve been encouraged to see so
many remaining faithful after their transformational camp experience. 3 of the
guys that had prayed to commit their lives to Christ wanted to be baptized, so
we did that a couple weeks after camp.
One of our main goals in following up with them was that we
could help the kids to be super passionate about establishing the Kingdom
around them as they go back into the school system. And now many of the kids
have 1 or 2 classmates that they’re focusing on sharing the gospel with. A few
of them have even tried sharing the gospel with their teachers. Please be
praying for receptive hearts!
There are also about 7 kids from camp that were identified
by the counselors as leaders, so we’ve been meeting with those guys and girls
once a week for leadership development.
And one of the counselors has been intrigued by our model of
discipleship, so she’s hung out with us a few times since camp to see what our
ministry is about.
On a separate note, because of some logistical issues we
decided not to continue Keystone Academy this year (the school we started for
refugee boys), so we spent a few weeks meeting with the previous students to
prepare them to go back into the public school system. We believe Keystone
Academy has successfully molded them into godly leaders, so we’re excited to
see how they influence the schools they go into. Anyway, please pray that all
those boys would not fall back into their old lifestyles, but rather would
bring a fresh move of the spirit to the school system. Thanks!
