Youth to Falls Creek

SABC teenagers are getting geared up for their big trip to God’s country next week. That’s right, God’s Country, Oklahoma. I can hear all your sneers and hisses. Our teenagers are leaving Monday, July 13 for Falls Creek Baptist Assembly in Davis, Oklahoma (45 minutes south of Oklahoma City). Youth Camp is one of the highlights of the year for any youth group and I know that our students are super excited about camp.

Falls Creek has been around since the days of Noah (almost, est. 1917) and the Lord has blessed this place with great growth over the years. There are 8 different weeks of Falls Creek (our students are going week 7) and there is an average of 5,600 students that attend each and every week. Falls Creek is like a small town for teenagers. It’s a pretty neat place. If you wouldlike to see where our teenagers will be next week, take a look at www.skopos.org or www.fallscreek.org. You can also hear the evening messages on these sites.

I grew up going to Falls Creek. Before that, my father grew up going to Falls Creek Camp every summer. And before that, my grandmother grew up going to Falls Creek every summer. This camp holds special meaning to me still today. In the summer of 1989, the camp Pastor’s name was Bro. Charles Graves. Bro. Charles was a great man of God, but he wasn’t a super great Youth Communicator. But, on the last night of that camp when the message was delivered, the Lord overwhelmingly moved in my heart to surrender my life to the Ministry of the Gospel. Over the years, the Lord has used Falls Creek Camp to change many a young person’s life for Christ. Would you as members of the SABC family commit with me to pray for our youth and their leaders next week at Falls Creek? Would you daily lift these 35 students and adults up before the Lord as God pours out his love for our youth this next week?

In Christ,

Pastor Scott
