Fathers Camp in Medina, TX


In July I attended a girls camp for girls at risk. There were about 21 girls there. I was asked to be the music worship leader. It was alot of work, but I think most of them liked the music. I tried to provide a variety of songs, from action, fun songs, as well as worship. The camp grounds are beautiful and the girls had a variety of activities ie. horseback riding, swimming, hiking Mt. Moriah, they loved that, crafts. They had approximately 1 hour a day of Bible study and devotions, and a class on Purity, presented by the nurse. One girl accepted Jesus and there were alot of girls that keft with a different attitude. The last night several girls shared stories of their life. I was very thankful for the home I was raised in, although not perfect, but, I realized things could always be worse. I left camp vowing I would pray for the girls as they all went their separate ways. It was a wonderful experience for the girls to be able to attend camp free and to be able do so many things that otherwise they might not ever get to do.
