Challenges That Lead Us To Christ
It is so exciting knowing that summer camps are in full swing at Wilderness Trails and hundreds of kids are discovering a REAL loving God.
One of my favorite opportunities to share God is on the Challenge Course. One is parallel ropes hung between two trees which is the hardest for most kids because it takes a ‘buddy’. Last summer I noticed a girl who was having a very difficult time on the Buddy Rope. I convinced her to try it with me. Slowly, with arms locked and legs shaking, we took the journey. This was the perfect opportunity to share with her about God’s love and how much she needed to have Him as a partner. She learned Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” After she finished crossing she thanked me and ran to be alone. Her leader and I found her sobbing. She shared with us that the rope brought up many difficult memories and wanted God to help her. God used that challenge on the ropes for this girl to see her need of Him.
It’s challenges like these that often give us the opportunity to show kids who Christ is. Thank you for praying and supporting this camp and making it available for kids.
