Genesis 18:12 begins with a question, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Of course, not! God is faithful to do all that He has promised in His Word. By God’s grace 77 youth attended a 4 days Bible Camp in Long Pine, NE. Over 50% of the youth which attended this year’s Youth Camp were Native American.

Every meeting was Spirit led, Spirit filled, and divinely orchestrated. There was a liberty to share, and the Youth Leaders certainly did not hold back in sharing the heart of Christ and the love of Christ with each individual that attended the Camp.

The following were the responses from some of the Youth that attended this year’s Youth Camp:

Destiny, “Jesus Christ was lifted up. It wasn’t about anything else, except about Jesus Christ. For some of the younger ones – it was their first time hearing about Jesus, but there were definitely seeds that God planted. “

Megan, “What stood out to me, was Xander (Alexander Gilpin). He encouraged me so much, just to see what the Lord has done with him. One of the mornings, the Lord gave him this rap, and he was rapping for the glory of God. And, I’m like Wow! God is going to use this young man.  So, that really touched me.”

Peter, “It’s about God’s faithfulness. It’s 77 kids, but that’s just the increase. God is about to do something big, and this is just the start.”

Xander,  “To tell you the truth, I never imagined myself going. So, I was like okay, I’m not going to go. And I knew that was the devil telling me, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go. Then, I had a second thought, I’m going to go. Next thing you know, it was Saturday, and I cried like a baby. I cried like I lost a family member or something. But this year’s Youth Camp  touched me so much that, I literally felt like my heart went from being a closed fist to an open hand. On Saturday, when Pastor Paul, and everybody came,  sat next to me, and laid their hands on my head.I closed my eyes, and tears were rushing down my face, and everywhere. I felt like I was flying. I felt like I was dizzy but flying. As soon as Pastor Paul and those guys (Youth Leaders) laid their hands on my head, and started praying – God set me free. He told the devil,  ‘leave my son alone. Let him free.’ That’s when I stopped, and I looked up. And I’m like, “okay – I love you Jesus, I accept you, and everything.” Everyone was all quiet kinda like a pin dropped. Right from there, I knew God was real. and I knew He was there at Camp. Before that, I knew there was something there, but I just didn’t know what exactly, until Saturday when I met the Lord (Jesus).”

Vanessa, “When I first decided to go to the Camp, I decided to go for the games – and to get away from home, because my home life isn’t the best. Actually, Jaeliesa convinced me to go. So, thank God for her. One thing she kept saying to me a lot was, “Oh, you gonna get saved. I know it, you gonna get saved.” And when she said that, I was like, “What is she going on about?”. So, I went, and the first day was okay. The services were different obviously from what I’m used to, and I was hoping for something but at the same time I wasn’t going to be surprised, if I didn’t feel anything. Until Sunday morning when Curtis (Youth Leader) gave his testimony, about “how the devil has distorted the image of a father and how the image of a father represents the image of God the Father”, and all of a sudden tears started coming out of my eyes like really bad. At first I was like “Oh, I’m just getting emotional, and I’m a little sensitive right now.” Then I was like “okay, stop crying. It’s weird.” But I kept crying.At this point, I was like bawling my eyes out. But Curtis kept talking, and I was just listening like really listening – paying attention for the first time. I felt something change in me, and for the first time I actually felt peace, So, when Curtis asked, “Who wanted to give their life to God? Who wanted to give their heart to Him?” At first I was like “Oh man, should I stand up?” So, I was like, “Okay, I will stand up”. So, I stood up, and I started crying even more. I felt something that morning. I don’t know what it is, but I just feel really really good. Ever since that day, I feel this peace that I’ve never felt before in my life. I just thank God that, He gave me people to show me, how to get right with Him.”
