VARSITY KIDS UPDATES

God worked through the combined efforts of almost every member at Cross Timbers Church or Christ. Although they only have a few elementary age kids in their body, 40 kids from Stephenville, Texas, heard about God's forgiveness while playing football, soccer, volleyball, and basketball.

After hearing the gospel, one camper whose name meant "life", decided to accept the ultimate gift of Jesus Christ into her heart. She was given the truest gift of life one could receive. Following her prayer of acceptance, she looked up with deep brown eyes pooling with a new hope and explained, "Coach, I feel different!" Her life had indeed been changed.

Several of the SportReach staff also had an opportunity to talk with another girl throughout the week about her faith. This young lady believes in reincarnation and karma and is really scared about dying. The question she asks is how could just one person create all that we see? She could not believe that God could do such a thing, or that He would send His only Son, Jesus, to die for her and her family and the rest of the world. The girl admitted her confusion about God and religion and life after death. But, she became very open as the camp progressed to learn more and have the team pray for her. She even asked to get a Bible so she could read for herself about The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

Please pray for Pastor Don and his congregation as they continue to care for all of these great kids who came to the Varsity Kids Sports Camp.
