June Summer Camps

Matt Miles • June 26, 2015

During the month of June, I have attended two separate camps as the missionary for the week. It is always a privilege to go to camp and teach the Word of God. The camp themes were Unbroken for the first week and Reclaimed for the second. Both of these themes have a great deal to do with our Biblical worldview. Over the course of the week I took the opportunity to show that the history of the Bible is Unbroken and should be Reclaimed as actual history. Regardless of what the world says, the Bible’s history is intact and correct. I taught that the fossil record does not demand long ages, just the right conditions to form fossils. We also studied that we should Reclaim the dinosaurs. More and more evidence is coming to light in support of dinosaurs living more recent in history than previously thought or dreamed by many people. Recent finds of blood cells and other soft tissue from dinosaurs again shows the Word of God’s history is Unbroken from the creation to now.  Another topic we tackled during camp is that we are only one race of people, the human race. We Reclaimed  our created image of God away from an evolutionary struggle for a favored race among many, which still seems to be promoted by many in the world today. I tried to help students grasp that our ethnicity, not race, can easily be traced back Unbroken in history to Babel. It has been an amazing summer so far as we see students Reclaim the Bible as Unbroken history in their lives. It is awe inspiring to serve the One True God, Jesus Christ.

Summer of 2025 is two-thirds finished. We have taught at 7 different camp weeks along with 6 VBSes. Ryan and I have had a busy summer for the Kingdom. Our travels have stretched from Ohio to Colorado and all points in between. We have taught in churches and connected with many supporters and friends. This summer, as usual, ministry has taken us away from family for periods, but there has been great returns for the sacrifice - more than fifteen souls have been added to God’s eternal Kingdom and even more seeds planted with life-changing fruit produced, from the young to old. Again and again we encounter students that are fired up with a passion for knowledge of the Word of God. As these students have found answers to questions or faith-challenging issues, they are better equipped to share their faith. This summer we have had the opportunity to reconnect with many students whom we taught at a younger age. Now they are in their teens or heading to college. Their testimonies of strengthened faith because of the mission God has called us to is more than rewarding. It never gets old to meet grandparents, or even great-grandparents, during VBS that have lived their lives as followers of Christ yet have never seen the impact of Genesis to the Gospel. Just yesterday this happened with a grandmother who was overjoyed and appreciative of our teaching and message. Knowing more about dinosaurs Biblically allows for them to have new lines of communication with their cherished grandkids. Our ability to give these great warriors of the faith answers that can impact their families for eternity is priceless to us.  Please continue to lift us up in prayer as our summer is not over yet. As always, know that your support is making an impact for the Kingdom that we are eternally grateful for. If you are thinking about having us come next summer, don’t hesitate to contact us as summers fill quicker than the rest of the year. Summer has and will continue to be a crazy busy time for Kingdom work. Blessings.
