2010: Summer Story #4

This next story comes from Eureka. There was a little boy in Eureka who came a long way and still has some more growing to do. Thanks to our fearless and patient directors (shown in picture) and the work of God, this little boy showed great change.

When the Boy first arrived at camp he had a real hard time focusing, listening, and obeying. It got to the point on the first day that we debated calling his parents to pick him up early. But at the request of the directors, he stayed to finish out the day. This was an early sign of the desire by the directors to see God work in the Boy's heart. As time moved on we developed a plan that would show Christ's love and to provide good structure for him to follow. It was a very slow process and many long days but as the summer continued on it was clear that God was working in this Boy's heart. By the end of the summer he began to listen and obey the staff. He wasn't perfect and still had trouble listening from time to time but there was definite change in his life. At this point I do not know if he has accepted the free gift of salvation and so I would ask you to pray that God softens his heart. We still get the chance to see him in the school year with the various programs we do (Parents' Night Out, Fall Frenzy, Camp 11/11) and we hope and pray that one day he will receive this precious gift.
