RSSThere’s no place like church camp
Jul 23
I’ve just returned from a week at Daniel Springs Baptist Camp in Gary, Texas (A.K.A. – the HOTTEST place on earth). I absolutely love church camp, and this year was no different.
Despite the hot temperatures, I always have a great time at camp – especially at Daniel Springs. I was saved at Daniel Springs in 1996, and I surrendered to preach the day after I returned from camp last year. It’s a very special place filled with wonderful memories for me.
Each morning, I joined other sponsors in the cafeteria at about 7 a.m. for coffee. I remember doing this with my grandfather when I was about 8 years old. The only difference is that back then, my grandpa would by me a Coke from the machine outside the cafeteria. Now, I drink the coffee. It makes for a great time of fellowship with great Christian men.
I’m always excited to see the way young people’s lives change after a week at camp. It’s a week away from all of the distractions of the world where they can focus on God. It’s amazing what happens when we lose the distractions and focus on Him.
I’m already looking forward to going back to camp next year. No matter the circumstances, I think camp is pretty much a permanent fixture in my summer routine.
