What Would You Sacrifice?
If you knew your son would be a speaker who led 1,000,000 people to Christ in the next 25 years, what would you sacrifice to make that happen?
If you knew your daughter would one day be a reknown author and counselor who helped thousands of anorexic girls find healing in their spiritual lives, what would you sacrifice to make that happen?
If you knew your son’s passion for God would lead to him becoming a pastor to youth and result in scores of young people turning to Jesus throughout his lifetime, what would you sacrifice to make that happen?
If you knew the noise that pounds from inside your son’s bedroom from practicing the drums would lead to him being part of an internationally known band that made a priority of getting clean water to every person in Africa, what would you sacrifice to make that happen?
If you knew your daughter would be the first female President of the United States and she was dedicated to influencing the world nations to feed the hungry world-wide and make the end of world hunger possible, what would you sacrifice to make that happen?
What if each of these sons and daughters were so impacted by Christ that they made a late night commitment to follow one of these dreams at the Peak and they would point back to camp as the time they started down that road, what would you sacrifice to help make that happen?
I can assure you of this, I would sacrifice my vacation, my gifts, new clothes, eating out, a new car, a bigger house and pretty much anything else so my kids could one day be impacting the world for Christ. I have seen 15 years of big decisions happen at camp so I know I will sacrifice for them to go, believing that God will use that experience for lasting lifechange.
Will you?
