Manchester Explorer Camp--And a Young Child Shall Lead Them

Our daughter, Bradford, was a leader for the younger girls in the Manchester Explorer Camp. She befriended a lively, handful of energy, Elizabeth, who was 8 years old. Like many of the children in New Hampshire, Elizabeth comes from a tough family situation. One day toward the end of the week, Bradford took Elizabeth to the bathroom (the Port-a-Potty!) and started asking Elizabeth questions about church. Elizabeth told Bradford that they do not go to church. The conversation continued and ended with Bradford asking Elizabeth if she would like to pray to receive Christ into her heart as her Lord. Elizabeth said, "Yes." Bradford prayed with Elizabeth, with Elizabeth repeating the prayer after Bradford. Elizabeth asked Christ into her heart! You just never know where someone might pray to receive Christ! We will continue to pray that this seed will be watered and grow in Elizabeth's young heart.--Monica Stewart
