New York, First Year
The atmosphere, the counselors, the staff and everyone involved always do their best to make sure the campers have a good time, but also while including the Gospel in everything they do. The Gospel is always shared the first night of camp and even every night throughout the week and every night is a growing opportunity for those who accepted Christ on the first night, or those who are still on the fence. I was one where I thought I knew what it meant to have a relationship with God, but after seeing how joyful and exciting my counselors were, I realized that I didn’t have much heart change. However, after rededicating my life to Christ, my counselors helped guide me to show me how God can use me and my heart started changing and growing. Even while working/volunteering at the camps I can feel the Holy Spirit working in my heart and changing it. While I’m volunteering I’m able to take a step back and observe how God is using every little thing to change the lives of the campers, counselors, staff and even the volunteers.It’s an amazing thing to watch whether I’m working in the background or I’m in the middle of it all as a camper. God uses everything to bring His children back to Him and Word of Life does a great job of using that. Through working/volunteering and being a camper, I have seen how God uses every little piece of camp to point my attention back to him and it has been a life changing experience for me
