Camper Story from Alaska

(This story is from a guy named Jarett.  I trained him in Alaska last year and he volunteers for 2 of our camps in Alaska).

Royal Family Kids Mat-Su Camp Story 

Matthew 18:10-14

"Be careful. Don't think these little children are worth nothing. I tell you that they have angels in heaven who are always with my father in heaven. If a man has a hundred sheep but one of these sheep gets lost, he will leave the other ninety-nine on the hill and go look for the lost sheep. I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that were never lost. In the same way, your father in heaven does not want any of these children to be lost."

This last week out at RFKC I had a child who became angry over a game with other boys and he took off running in the woods and down to the lake. We are taught not to chase after these kids but follow them with another cousin to keep an eye on them were they go. This guy didn't stop and lead me and his cousin on a 1hr swamp and bush hike around the lake. At times this campers would yell leave me alone, go away, and other not so choice words but we continued to watch over him as he lead us deeper and deeper in the woods. We got to a point to were he was at the shore of the lake (opposite from were are camp is) wearing his sneakers he goes into the water up to his shins. 20 feet away I join him in the water wearing my sneakers. His cousin shortly follows and hops in the water. He then turns to us and smiles and chuckles a bit. We all laugh and start to trek back to camp along the shore up to our knees in cold lake water. We make it back to camp and were heading up to the cabins when he grabs a special heart necklace given to him at camp. he then says " You know what I'm doing cousin Jarett." I reply "What are you doing" "I have Gods heart and spirit inside of me. Whenever I become frustrated I can grab this heart necklace and pray to God about my anger and troubles and they will go away."

Our God Is Amazing!!!
