Life-Change at Student Camp

I’m at High School Beach Camp with 500 students and sponsors in Florida. And I can’t tell you how amazing it has been to witness our ministers and volunteers pouring into the students and to experience the incredible worship time with this next generation ... the future of our church.

I’ve often t
alked about my life-changing experiences at high school camp. I was blessed to attend Sagamore Hill Baptist Church in Fort Worth, a church well known for its youth ministry and summer camp at Latham Springs near Waco.

As a 15-yea
r-old in 1965, my life was changed as I surrendered to Christ unconditionally and not long afterward I heard God’s call to preach.

Because of my own experiences, I’ve always had a heart and a burden for students. I can’t think of anything more critical right now than reaching this generation of students and preparing them for life and teaching them God’s Word.

That is exactly what is happening here in Panama City Beach. We’ve witnessed as 24 students have made decisions for Christ! I pray that many more will join them in the coming days.

Pray of our students ... the future of our church.
