“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your campers, and shall TALK of them when you SIT in your cabin, and when you HIKE by the way, and when you LIE down, and when you RISE. And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house (cabin) and on your gates.”

Training
Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.
~Abigail Adams
RFK Inc 2012
That sounds like a lot, but with God “all things are possible”.
We have seen that a week of time, even a single moment of time, can change the direction that a life is going.
RFK Inc 2012
Over a long period of time, a slight deviation here
Can result in an entirely different person here

when an angel said “…you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. Luke 1v31
My life was changed in a moment when…RFK Inc 2012
Training you to change a life will take a little time & effort.

This camp works with kids who are Wards of the State. That changes a lot of things.
To social Services we are identified as a “faith-based camp”.
We have a daily Chapel time, tell Bible stories & verses, hand out Bibles and music and pray.

How this camp is different from a regular Church camp…
These are not Church Kids going to Church Camp…
These are Community Kids going to a Community Camp.
RFK Inc 2012
You may hear foul language heart breaking stories see bad behavior or even sexual behaviors poor manners or no manners in the cafeteria
Yet they are still wonderful kids who need your time and care.
RFK Inc 2012
Be careful of our “Christian language” that other Christians would understand but these kids might not.
Some of our campers are completely devoid of Christian language or values, or they may have had an abusive experience at church, or with a believer.
RFK Inc 2012
It would be a another form of abuse to manipulate, pressure, cajole, force or in any similar way make these children feel like they have to pray or raise their hand for a spiritual decision that they may not even understand.

Sharing your Faith
What can you do?
At RFK we follow Joshua chapter 4.The people of Israel crossed over the
Jordan river into the promise land. God told Joshua to take 12 stones out of the river and place them on the side where
they were going.
Why?RFK Inc 2012
Vs. 21-23…“When your children ask their
fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What are these stones?’ then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land’; for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan…

For all that we will talk about and do let us remember that RFKC training is
really all about this…

Campers will be changed for
eternity
“And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them and the disciples
rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it he was indignant, and he said to them, ‘Let the children
come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God.’” Mark 10:13,14

Adult lives will be changed for eternity,
too!
