Hey y'all! We are headed back to Texas today from Indiana FCA MX Camp. Wow!!! What a week! God really showed up at this camp! The camp was held at Country Lake Christian Retreat in Henryville, IN. The facility was beautiful! This camp was a residential camp so the kids got dropped off by their parents on Monday, and stayed at the camp facility until Friday. The week was full of training with some of the top riders in the country, fun games and activities for the kids, swimming, and lots of Jesus! Let's just say that by the end of the week the kids were wore out!
Steve Hudson, AMA Pro Supercross and Motocross Chaplain, was our Chaplain for the week and he really brought the Word! After a week worth of preaching on being "In the Zone" with Christ, Thursday night Steve did an altar call after the message. There were 67 campers at this camp and 27 gave their life to the Lord!!!!! So amazing to see! God is so faithful! The Lord continues to confirm the reason we are doing what we do! It's all about Him and bringing others to Him!
I can't help but get emotional when I think about those kids and some of their stories on where they came from and the situations that they are in; Jordan and Myra- Their mom is in prison and their dad lives in Texas and won't have anything to do with them, so they live with their grandparents in Indiana. They were both broken to the point of tears on Thursday, and accepted the Lord and were baptized on Friday! Also, Cory (14) who's dad died recently and his step mom spent all the life insurance money that was supposed to go to him. His real mom lives 15 minutes down the road from him, but takes no responsibility for him and has zero relationship with him. Knowing his tough story, some of the Indiana FCA MX Team members sponsored Cory to come to camp. On Thursday night, he stood broken and weeping on the altar and gave his life to the Lord as well! God is so good and sovereign!
This camp produced so much fruit and just made us that more excited at the opportunity He has given us to serve in this ministry and to see what He is going to do in the rest of the camps across the country this summer!
Please continue to be in prayer for our Texas camp coming up June 25th-28th as well as the other 9 camps going on this summer around the country. Last summer FCA MX had a total of 500 campers! We are praying for that number to continue to grow for the Lord! Glory to God!!!!
