Kane PA

Hello; Denny here.

Our last true camp was located in Kane, PA, far from the hustle and bustle of anything one could call a city. It was rustic, simple, and focused on the Lord.

We felt so loved by the people at this camp. They did so much for us. We had our own room, a place to retreat at the end of the day, and we had plenty of time to rehearse. One of the cooks took our laundry to her home and washed all of our clothes for us. God’s love shone through the servant attitudes of the adults at this camp.

God further blessed us with the opportunity to learn from Reverend Tim Bell. He led us and two other college students in a Bible study on Galatians 5. He had so much knowledge of the scripture, and it was wonderful to study God’s word as a team.

This was the first family camp for the AEC (Association of Evangelical churches) in 10 years. It was a landmark event, and we were glad to have some part in it. The campers and leadership focused their energy not on extra-curriculars, but on growing in Christ and growing as a body. The worship service was the central event of the day. They started out right, putting God at the center of their endeavors.

The camp leadership asked us to choose a theme song for the week that focused on the Holy Spirit. We brainstormed, and—since we could not come up with anything other than VBS songs—we wrote and arranged our own song. Currently it still exists under the acting title “Holy Spirit Song.” I hope that that will change. A recording may be posted in the near future! Keep checking!

God worked so much this week at refining us. We learned and we grew as a team and as individuals. It was a great week at camp!
