The first of the 2015 PYV Regional Camps has finished today in Halls Gap. From Tuesday to Friday we have enjoyed four sermons from Rev Heath Easton (Drouin Presbyterian) on the theme of "Grace and Holiness". Heath took us to four different areas of the Bible to show that:
We can only get right with God through faith in Jesus - Colossians 1:21-23- We're only good enough for God when we're not good enough - Luke 18:9-14
- God wants us to stay connected to Jesus and live a fruitful life - John 15:1-17
- Truly knowing Jesus will be seen in growing more like Jesus - 2 Peter 1:5-11
Our conveners, Jesse and Naomi Crabb, brought together a terrific team of co-ordinators, who then brought together a great team of leaders to make sure things happened and happened well.
Being in Halls Gap meant we had some beautiful places to walk, and a good number of the campers enjoyed a longer walk up one of the many hills during the afternoon. Other activities included some team games, the annual (and unofficial) City Vs Country soccer game - which was won by the Country team, and a bushdance.We give thanks to God for the way he has used this camp, alongside with the consistent ministry at the local church, to bring young people to faith. We believe that one young man has been converted, and many leaders were greatly encouraged to hear about the solid faith in the lives of teenagers.
God is good, and we had the chance to see this again at the 2015 West Camp.
West Camp - mm, that would be the wild west show, love the hats. Even more, getting serious about Christian faith and the difference it makes to a person's life. I was converted 56 years ago, age 15, best thing that ever happened to me, and God did it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment David. God is still changing lives, and we trust that some of these teenagers will also be able to testify to decades of God's faithfulness in the years to come.
