Wild West summer camp 2008 was no less than a phenomenal experience in the lives of the nearly 90 students who attended this year--several of whom were guests! Through the ministry of worship leader Sara Beth Geoghegan, camp speaker/pastor Jason Britt, and our adult counselors, our week in Panama City Beach was more than just a camp--it was an encounter with God. Our students and counselors were challenged by Jason concerning the issues of self-centeredness, sexual purity, forgiveness, loving other people, and what it means to find significance through valuing above all else our relationship with Christ and following Him. We praise God for the students who made a decision to follow Christ for the first time during Camp this year and thank Him for the opportunity to see significant spiritual maturity in many other students. Thank you, church, for your prayers and support for this ministry. Without you it would not be possible to have this tremendous experience of growth in the Kingdom of God!
