Castle Rock Mt. on a beautiful rainy morning

On Monday, we arrived at beautiful Castle Rock Camp and enjoyed a lovely couple of days there. The camp is located just outside of Bozeman right next to Castle Rock mountain and a gorgeous rushing river. The staff was very excited to see their largest junior high attendence in the eight years Pastor Sprunger has been leading Junior High camp. We helped out with meals and games, sang in the services, and Bri filled in as a counselor in one of the girls' cabins. It was a great time to get to know the camp staff as well as the campers and we were so encouraged by the spirit of Pastor Sprunger and the way he conducted the camp. There was plenty of fun activities for the kids as well as good times of searching God's word, preaching, and quizzing over the sermons and daily Bible reading. Evangelist Rick Moore was speaking this week and he preached powerfully both services we were in. We are so grateful for the girl that was saved Wednesday morning just before we left and we hope for many more decisions for Christ.Singing with the NTCP girls: Hannah Jones, Jen Cole and Rebekah Moore

We knew before we arrived that the Pioneer group for the Northwest was planning on arriving at camp the same day we were. Unfourtunately they had some serious car trouble and were not able to make it until Tuesday. Once they arrived, we enjoyed swapping stories of our travels and even got them to sing with us for the evening meeiting. They are staying for the rest of the week and all of next week, so we are praying the Lord continues to use them in the lives of the campers.

On Wednesday before we left, Bro. Derrick, Bri, and Alaina had the opportunity to hike up Castle Rock Mountain and enjoy the spectacular view of the surrounding mountains and rivers. Every other year they take the campers up the mountain and we were amazed and impressed that the Junior high campers could make such a trek. We loved the time we were able to spend with the campers and staff in the midst of a lovely portion of God's creation and we continue to pray that the Lord will bless and work in hearts through the camp.
