So I'm at youth camp this week. Those of you who have been to a Baptist youth camp, either as a camper or worker, will totally understand what it is like. It is a lot of fun, but also has a serious side. The goal is for people to really connect with God.
One important part of that is the Camp Pastor. The Camp Pastor is usually a professional "youth communicator" or "youth evangelist". This week, the camp director wanted to try something different, which I admire him for, and he hired a stand up comedian. It is not quite as weird as it sounds. The guy is a media minister at a big church in Colorado Springs, and does stand up comedy too. But I don't think he has a lot of experience preaching at youth camps. His first night was completely a comedy routine. As you can imagine if you are familiar with camp, that really freaked all the leaders out.
Last night he actually used the Bible a little to talk about the Messiahship of Christ. Plus, he gave a personal testimoney so I think folks are feeling a little better. Over all it has been a good camp so far. Our kids are being very good and discussing during church time. I think they are having fun too.
Gotta run, more later, I hope.
