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.
