Your gift is especially important this year. While we are currently facing a shortfall in giving, the focused mission of camping still prevails. The commitment to provide a safe environment to introduce people to Jesus and equipping people to grow in their faith and impact their world remains as true today as it was 75 years ago. Young people are searching and craving the purpose that only Christ can provide, but we need your help. Now it is your turn to be a camping hero for the next generation. Milestones happened because someone believed in the power of a Christ centered camping ministry and continued its legacy by generously supporting the ministry. As we celebrated 75 years of camping ministry, it was great to hear all of the stories and memories shared. Many of us gave our life or rededicated our life to Christ at camp, made an important decision, or met our best friend or future spouse at camp. I have never so sad as when we had to leave LUL this year.As we approach “the seasons of thankfulness and giving,” let us pause and remember our times spent at camp. But it was all worth it by the time we got to the top of that mountain. I can also say that he moved so many people in that place that it was just awesome being in that chapel! After chapel we went hiking up a mountain in the dark, when it was wet, as a repersentation of a point they were showing us. That night was AMAZING! They played the song and I was moved to the point of tears, and I hadn't cried since right before I got out of school. Then the band came out and began to play. When we got to chapel, everyone expected to hear a whole lot of talking, but Greg said two or 3 words, and walked off the stage. Thursday evening we were told to wear old clothes and closed toes shoes to chapel for our special end of the week event that night. ![]() By Thursday afternoon's chapel I thought I wasn't going to hear them again. They also played a few from the last year too, like Open the Floodgates of Heaven, Jesus Paid it All, Mighty to Save, How Great is our God, and a few others, and I recommend looking them up on YouTube! The next day and night I waited to hear those songs again, waiting on something to move me. And then they played this song, which they played last year too, called, Lead Me to the Cross, which began to move me in a small way. By Wednesday night, I was feeling a little something. Well this year, the first couple of days I felt absolutely NOTHING. I had been moved a little last year, but enough to say I had truly heard God. Our speaker was Greg Boone, owner of LUL at this moment, and he was amazing, as always. I fell into the daily routine of waking up early for our scheduled breakfast, that awful climb to chapel, which was up a giant hill in the mountains of SC, back down, activities, free time, supper, chapel again, and so on. ![]() ![]() And let me tell you, it was a life changing experience. During the week of June 13-18, I attended a Christian church camp called Look Up Lodge. ![]()
