Some stories from the last year.

Jay, He was small for his age, I wasn’t sure that he was telling the truth that he was in middle school at first.  Jay was one of the first boys to get to Daycamp each day and didn’t want to leave at night. He loved the skits about the bible and thought our students were cool for acting them out. Jay gave 100% during the games. He even helped clean up. Stay2Serve was over, I saw Jay every week or so playing basketball across the street. We’d talk for a few minutes when we saw each other. VBS came and he showed up, begging to help. We had one spot left for summer camp the week after VBS. Some of the students invited Jay and told him how much fun it was. We gave him the paperwork (yes all 8 forms) and told him if he could get them filled out he could come, He said he’d be right back. We waited three hours. He didn’t come back. I took a couple students to the store to get some stuff for camp, there he was with his mom. We talked and the next day he was dropped off with all 8 forms, a new bible and camp gear. Jay made a decision at camp that week to follow Christ. And the young men and women that Loved him at Stay2Serve got to celebrate with him as he began his relationship with Christ.
Pray for more like Jay.
