Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So!

This last Sunday, three full buses of 149 kids from Fort Worth, Texas rolled back into town. Fifty of those kids were fresh off their new commitment to a life with Jesus!!!

For the first time in a while, Fort Worth, Texas showed up to Frontier Ranch looking like Fort Worth. We had kids from all backgrounds, different races, and most importantly, a large number of kids who did not know Jesus as their savior. We had kids that have had family members murdered in the past year and kids that have parents in jail for years to come. We had some of the richest kids in Fort Worth sleeping in a bed next to some of the poorest kids in Fort Worth all hearing the TRUTH about Jesus Christ. Some hearing it for the fist time.

Now that we are home, we have switched our focus from telling these kids about Jesus, to teaching them what a life with Christ has to offer. We are four days into our three weeks of camp followup. During this time, we will be teaching these kids how to walk with Christ. From sitting down and having a quiet time with Jesus, to teaching these kids how to share Him with their friends, each of these kids will learn what it means to have life to the full.

I cannot thank you enough for your support through prayer and finances. The majority of the kids on our trip would not have been able to experience the best week of their lives without your help, and for that we are eternally grateful.

In the next couple of months, we will be setting up a time for a large number of these new Christians to be baptized. I will keep you informed on when this will be, and I hope that each one of you will be able to come and see these kids claim Christ in this way.

Here is our entire Fort Worth Texas group at Frontier Ranch

Game Time!!!!

In less than eight hours we will be loading up three buses from Fort Worth Texas to head to Frontier Ranch.

Please pray that lives will be eternally changed.

Look for a new post soon after our return.

Young Life's Frontier Ranch

In Psalm 107 it says, "Let the redeemed of the Lord Say So!", and that is exactly what 135 Fort Worth kids had the opportunity to do last summer at Frontier Ranch in Buena Vista, Colorado. Right before we got on the bus to come home, we had our last club meeting. At the end of that meeting we asked every kid that made a decision to start a relationship with Christ during their week at Frontier Ranch to stand up. A microphone is passed around and the kids get to say their name, where they're from and something along the lines of "I came home to Christ this week." They get to "Say So." Last year there were around 400 kids from all over the country at Frontier Ranch. During "Say So," 108 kids stood up and let the world know that they had started a relationship with Christ. Over 50 of those kids were from Fort Worth, Texas. What a HUGE blessing!!!

This summer we are taking another step forward. As of right now we have over 180 kids from Fort Worth Texas signed up for summer camp. This means that we are going to roll up to Frontier this summer with four buses full of kids. FOUR BUSES!!!

With all this being said you can obviously see that we are in need of prayer.

Please pray for:

The kids that proclaimed Christ as their Savior last summer

The kids that still have questions

The kids that will be jumping on a bus this summer for the best week of their life

The kids that need financial help getting to camp

Thanks for everything
