NATIVE AMERICA

The harvest is ready among the Native Americans Every summer many children participate in Bible Camps. This year one camper led another to faith in Jesus Christ. Some of these kids are Native Americans, some have a parent or loved one in prison. Through OAC and scholarship programs they are able to attend. It takes a lot of staff to teach and feed the children. Pictured is Jeremy who was a counselor in the past. Last year he went to a different camp rock climbing. He fell and is now paralyzed from the waist down. He visited our camp this summer and remembered the sketch board stories I told 2 years ago and added: “You said you’d bring me a Swiss T-shirt from your visit to Europe” I had forgotten about that, so I let him have mine. The white cross stands for the righteousness Christ has bought for us by shedding his blood (red background). Even though living in a wheel chair is hard, Jeremy is radiant with Christ’s joy and was an inspiration to all at camp.
