When you ask our children what their favorite part about Camp Blue Haven they quickly respond "the mountains," "the worship & Bible classes," but quickly it comes down to the people. Abigail and most of the girls in her cabin have been together for the last five years. They are all from different congregations including McDermott, Brown Trail and Brownwood Churches of Christ.
The girls were blessed to have Jacelyn as their counselor again this year. All of the camp counselors are college student from Christian Universities like Lubbock, who spend the entire summer at Camp Blue Haven. It is a huge blessing to have older Godly young people who have been trained to mentor and guide these young lives.
The girls have kept up a group text and they have emailed prayer requests, concerns and celebrations throughout the school year. This year they also began another messaging group with their brother cabin. Once a week they have a group Bible study together.
I love that they have found a positive way to use social media to encourage and spur each other on to good works. But I would expect nothing less of this great group of kids!
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25
