It's amazing how quickly summer comes upon us. Last week my children were finishing school, and this week my daughter goes to camp. Camp Happyland is a place of joy and laughter and this year the Fredericksburg Corps anticipates sending 70 children to this Utopian setting where the children will have a daily Bible lesson, go boating on a lake, swim, play on the ropes course, learn about nature...
The most important thing about Camp, however, is the lifelong memories it will create. There are so many adults who have told me about their experience at Camp Happyland, some even remembering the name of their counselor. The point is, if the right kind of memory is created then a persons outlook on life can be changed, if ever so slightly. These impressionable children will be in a loving Christian environment and will be exposed to a very positive image of Christ. In turn, this could be the seed planted for many children who might not otherwise be exposed to Christianity...what a window of opportunity.
Please take time to pray for Camp Happyland over the Summer months knowing that hundreds of children are running around its grounds. Your prayers will be answered as lives are affected. Thanks be to God for this awesome ministry.
