Key Bible Verse: There are different ways God works in our lives, but … does the work through all of us (1 Corinthians 12:6). Bonus Reading: 1 Cor. 12:4-11
Brian had a passion for Christian camps, but our association had no camping program. As Brian shared his burden with our church, others sensed God speaking. With them and others from our sister churches, Brian organized our first children's camp. It was a tremendous success! The volunteers served as counselors, cooks, and nurses, and came back exuberant about how God had worked.
Later God brought another Brian to our church. His passion was barefoot waterskiing! Only God, I thought, can take a passion like that and use it for His kingdom! But God did. Our children's camp was held at the lake where this Brian had a cabin. During camp week he brought his ski boat to the camp and with some friends gave a barefoot water-ski demonstration. Then he gave lessons to the kids. It was the highlight of the week!
While teaching the kids how to ski, Brian discovered that he was good at working with kids. When he returned home, Brian volunteered to be a children's Sunday school teacher. He became popular with the kids and was used by God to bless our church.
