Extraordinary Camp
Just under 60 children aged
8-10yrs and 35 young adult leaders attended the camp at Waipara,
Canterbury,
from Sunday 5th to Friday 10th October. Praise God 40
children were counselled for salvation.
Cyrus Williams, the Camp Director
wrote:
“This was one extraordinary
camp week that showed us the impressiveness of our God.
Throughout the
first half of the week particularly, we saw and felt the enemy press us hard
in every way but not overcome us. Challenges came from camp alterations, an
out of tune piano (tuned just in time), sickness, various implement failures
and much more.
There seemed to be a shift in the Heavenlies on the
Wednesday evening and a new peace came over the camp. Each of our prayers was
promptly answered making us aware of much prayer backing.
Many children,
by the end of Thursday evening, personally asked how to invite Jesus into
their hearts.
One boy exclaimed to his leader first thing in the morning after asking Jesus
into his heart the night before, “Phil I feel like a new baby, just born
again”! (That’s just about a quote from John 3 isn’t it?)
A young girl on the last morning woke up and ran down the hall to her
sister’s cabin and exclaimed to her sister, ‘I’ve just become a Christian’!
Please continue to pray as you are
able for these kids as a number of them have headed back into their difficult
home settings. One little girl found out at the bus that her parents had
separated while she was at camp, very heart breaking indeed.”
