campers at VBC, 72 campers at volleyball and basketball camp, and 100 volunteers. Best of all, our leaders continue to observe the Holy Spirit at work in the lives of our campers as they ask questions about faith, God, and the Bible; as they reflect on their experiences at VBC; and as they respond to God’s leading beyond camp. How remarkable is Christ’s body, at work in our church, through the ministry of VBC and sports camp. Thank you, church!
