Will the Real Christians Stand Up
          I give honor  to Jesus Christ, my Lord  and Savior. This year’s

          Christian summer camp will be a blessing. But, it will also be a
          noble mission to teach Christian youth how to be all they can
          in Christ. If you will, give Jesus a round of applause.” The youth
          stood to their feet clapping for Jesus.

              “The kitchen workers have put together a delicious break-
          fast, but before we enjoy it, I would like to take the time to
          assign everyone to their facilitators. Ages 5 to 7, I will be your
          facilitator,” Samaria said as she raised her hand. “Ages 8 to 10,

          Katey will be your facilitator, and ages 11 on up, Adriana will
          be your facilitator.”
              The youth clapped in excitement.
              “Each week, each group will change facilitators, so don’t

          get too comfortable with the one you are assigned to current-
          ly. Every day there will be a different activity for you to partic-
          ipate in, and at 10:00 every morning, we will have a general
          assembly. During this time, we will be talking to you all about

          different topics that we should be made aware of. So without
          further ado, let us bow our heads for the grace and a word of
          prayer,” Samaria said as she bowed her head and closed her
          eyes. The youth joined her.

              “Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we thank you for
          sending us your only begotten son to die for our sins. Jesus, we
          thank you for sacrificing your life so that we can live our lives
          more abundantly. Father, we thank you for everyone here to-

          day. We ask that you allow this year’s summer camp to be
          a powerful testimony and blessing in the lives of each youth
          here today. We thank you for the delicious breakfast that we
          are about to receive, and Father, we ask that you purify and

          sanctify the food as we partake of it. In your son Jesus’ name,
          we ask, and we pray, amen.”
              All the youth said amen.
