A Fight for a Life



My name is Luke, I'm counseling at CBX this summer. This last week I had a cabin of guys, and toward the end of the week one of my campers got in a little fight with the rest of the cabin. Through that, the camper started to open up and share that he has been struggling with an anger problem. The next day was a really powerful time when a bunch of the kids at camp shared their testimonies. After that, my camper broke down and started telling me about his life at home, how he doesn't have a dad, how his family doesn't go to church anymore, and how hard it is for him to make friends. For about 10 minutes I prayed with him, asking God for help and for God's hand in his life, and thanking God for being there and promising to be faithful. For the last few days of camp, he showed a ton of improvement. He didn't let things frustrate him and he got to be great friends with the other three boys in the cabin. It was so cool to see God working in his life.
