Camps Just Ahead!

With summer vacation season also comes the opportunities of camp ministries.  The same is true in the United Kingdom, and we have three camps that now seem to be approaching at the speed of light! 

In July, I speak daily to youth leaders to encourage and augment their ministries through their local churches at the Senior High Baptist Bible Fellowship of Great Britain.  This is always an encouragement to me as I witness the growing potential to impact the entire UK for Christ.

During the first week of August, we partner with Dan Brown and the LIFT staff for a second year of camp together, focusing on unsaved teenagers.  Last year just over 50% of the young people who attended this camp accepted Christ as their Savior.  Currently it appears that we will matriculate almost double the number of campers from last year—from 60 to well over 100—from all indications.  Relative to this particular camp, I need your help.

First, I need your prayers.  Pray with us that God is already at work in the hearts minds, and lives of these campers, even before they arrive.  Pray that their hearts and minds will be open to the messages and music throughout the week.  Pray that many will come to put their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior.  Pray for the local church workers who will disciple these converts.

Second, could you financially underwrite the cost of even one of these campers, making a week of camp available to them?  The proven track record shows that when we get them into camp, many of them will accept Christ.  Your investment of $250USD will help provide the camping experience for one camper—and dollar-for-dollar, this yields greater results in evangelism than anything.  Will you help?

While all personal support goes to Central Missionary Clearinghouse, all project funds are handled by Gospel Alive, Inc., the Michigan-based 501(c)3 through which I work internationally.  This avoids any potential “co-mingling” of funds and clear accounting.

If you (or your church) can help, please make these checks payable to Gospel Alive, Inc., and mailed to 200 Woodstone Road, Waterford, MI 48327.  These funds are needed by July 30, 2009, if at all possible.

Thanks in advance for investing in the young people of the United Kingdom—young people with the potential to shake the UK for the cause of Jesus Christ!

Yours and His for Souls,

Dale
