We had a great week in Carbondale and saw God move in amazing ways. Many kids gave their life to Christ and it is always amazing to be apart of God bringing people to himself. I wanted to share one final story from one of the volunteers:
I was a volunteer coach this year with SportReach. We invited one of my daughter’s friends to come to camp with us. She had started attending church with us over the last year. Her parents have been totally supportive of her attending with us, but haven’t seemed very interested in attending although we have had a couple of conversations about what our faith means to us personally. When we as a group got to the lesson and scripture for the day, it had an example of a prayer that anyone can pray to receive Jesus as their personal savior. A couple of the kids were very vocal that they wanted to say the prayer with us. We didn’t realize it at first, but she prayed to accept the free gift of Jesus quietly without a lot of fanfare. We were so excited to see her really understand that it was a personal decision she had to make and that she is now a sister in Christ! I personally was blessed by attending SportReach and to be apart of her profession of faith because she has meant so much to our family.
Great to see such relationships happening through something as simple as time on the sports field. What a privilege...
