Summer Campers
Make Life-Changing Decisions
 Every
year Lakeview is privileged to host thousands of
children, youth, adults, and families from all
walks of life for retreats, camps, reunions,
meetings, and more. Few events, though,
are more gratifying and uplifting than our
summer District Youth Camps.
This year the
Conference Camping Committee set out to gather
some very honest feedback
from the senior high campers. Not only did
our leaders seek to gauge from real data the
effectiveness of summer camp, they also desired
to follow-up with youth who made significant
decisions regarding their faith-walk with
Christ. The results are in and the numbers
are astounding! Below is a report by the
Camping Committee showing the results of their
survey. Some 745 senior high youth chose
to respond.
|
104 or 14% |
Committed
my life to Jesus Christ for the 1st time
during camp |
|
42 or 6% |
I have
never been baptized and want to be |
|
487 or 65% |
Renewed
my commitment to Jesus Christ during
camp |
|
130 or 17% |
God
might want me to become a pastor,
missionary, or work in ministry |
|
584 or 78% |
May not
work in ministry, but Jesus will work
through me in my career |
Summer District Youth Camp
is a wonderful experience that truly has a
tremendous impact on those who serve as well as
though being ministered to. Hundreds of
adults and pastors volunteer their time and
labor to provide a safe, relationship-building,
Christ-centered experience for all youth.
