| Learning verses is easier with motions |
This is the opening week of the camp season and the hill has come to life in a big way as wave after wave of enthusiastic campers washes over the area. It is exciting to see the interaction between the college age men and women and their young disciples. The unhindered worship of God in the sanctuary or the quiet group discussions of scripture around the cabins combine to encourage and challenge the campers to walk closer to Jesus.
There are also some that do not have a relationship with Jesus and are experiencing God's love from a caring adult for the first time. There is a list of children's names (posted in our office hallway) who need to be "Rooted" deep in Christ, that is prayed over by the staff throughout the day. As children step into a new relationship with Christ we then pray for them to find a mentor back home so that the seeds that are planted continue to grow even deeper roots after they leave the safety of camp.

The Released Time Bible Program helps support new believers throughout the school year with our weekly educational program. I finished the layout for the Listener Booklet this week; which includes directions about how to lead a child to Christ, how to memorize scripture, how to study the scriptures and the verse for each week of the program that is supported by a Bible lesson. This is a vital tool for our volunteers to use as they disciple and support their students to walk with Jesus.
If you would like to be part of this program or would like to help support us reach children for Jesus in the public school system please contact me at victor@joyel.org.
