We had the pleasure of welcoming two young boys (age 6 and 7) to Camp Berachah for our first week of Summer Day Camp. Before coming to camp, these boys had never heard anything about God, but they were excited to hang out at camp for the week. After a week of swimming, chapel, crafts, inflatables, group games, snack shack, more swimming and more snack shack (that was their favorite part), they went home for the weekend. During a game of Sorry, the six year old turned and said "I think we should pray now." His aunt, not hearing correctly, and not expecting such a thing to come from the boy's mouth, replied "we ARE playing." To this he responded, "No, PRAY." And so they did. The same thing happened throughout the weekend, with the boys frequently stopping to make sure they were including God in their activities.
From never having heard about God to talking to Him daily, it has been amazing to see the turnaround in these boys' lives. As they return for Week 2, it is our hope and prayer that they would further their understanding and accept Jesus as their personal savior.
