June 2016 Reporter - Crestview Baptist Church

IT'S NOT TOO LATE. You can still
participate in the experience of Camp
Crestview. There is nothing that we do
together that involves as many people
as this annual event. If you really want
to know the heart of this church for
people, you just have to get involved in
one of these camps. Even if it is only
making it to the program on one of the
Friday afternoons of the two weeks of camp, at least you
could see a glimpse of the magnitude of this event. Several
hundred children singing praises on the platform is a sight
to see. I always have to remind myself that there are two
other groups that we have worked with each week who are
not in that program. Those groups are the preteens,
numbering around 150 students, and the preschoolers, who
have their program at a different time on Friday. One of the
greatest things about this event is that men have taken
vacation time to help and a good number of working and
retired men work in the camp. In a day when many
churches do not have a daytime Bible school because they
cannot staff them, this is a phenomenon worth noting. The
reason people serve is that they understand that we are
sharing the gospel with many families with limited or no
contact with any church. I have never seen a children's
event that so consistently touches unchurched families as
does Camp Crestview. A recent illustration comes from the
family of one of last summer's students. At Easter time this
year, a dad in a nearby town whose son had been deeply
touched by Camp Crestview was picking his son up at
school. The son said to him, "Dad, we don't have to come
to school tomorrow. It's Good Friday!" Dad replied,
"What's good about it?" The boy said, "Jesus died for your
sins, dad. I would say that is pretty good." The dad was
speechless and called his mom in Georgetown to tell
her. Let's plant some more seed.
