Equipped On day two, the campers engaged in various activities – from treasure hunts to Nerf battles – learning various ways to share the Gospel. In this time of equipping, every child learned to be a wielder of two powerful tools for evangelism: the bridge diagram and “God Loves Me” tract.
Released Empowered and equipped, it was finally time to release them into the harvest fields. With great boldness and courage, our campers, accompanied by adult leaders, went from house to house inviting people for Christmas and sharing the Gospel. After the message about the Holy Spirit on the first day, Evelyn Phua had a vision of a short-haired girl in a pink dress. During street evangelism, she met this girl and proceeded to share the Gospel. When the girl was asked if she wanted to make a decision for Christ, she said ‘yes!’ One group spent over an hour and a half knocking on doors only to face rejection after rejection. Before knocking on another door, they decided to stop and pray. Unwilling to be discouraged, they tried one more time. Praise God that the resident made a decision for Christ! Although given an option to use the last 30 minutes for a break, they pressed on and enabled another three people to make decisions for Christ!
Over the course of two hours, our children led 102 people, including many adults, to make decisions for Christ! Camp Strike Force demonstrated how our children can be big and strong in the Lord. Praise God that our children can be empowered, equipped, and released for His glory!
“
Although there were a lot of rejections when we went SALTing, we had one decision for Christ!” Jonathan Huang, 9 years old
“
Today, we went out to share the Gospel. God had given me a picture of a child receiving Christ. In the end, two children made decisions for Christ!” Jayden Cheong, 9 years old
“
I had never felt the presence of God really touch me. When I joined this camp, I was hoping that God would touch me and show me a vision. On the first and second day, nothing happened but on the last day, when my team leader prayed for me, I actually felt God’s presence. All glory to God!” Faith Teo, 10 years old
“
I enjoyed the tracting. It empowered me and allowed me to be courageous.” Jan Wong, 10 years old
“
During those three days, I was really touched by God, especially during the morning worship sessions. I was very happy that we went SALTing as many people came to know God! Now I have the Holy Spirit with me, I am a more confident Christian!” Leia Sim, 11 years old (Testimonies have been edited for clarity and length.)
