The Brock Family

I don’t have a lot of time.

Just 25 minutes to be exact.

So, let’s stop wasting time. I’m going to start writing. You start scrolling.

One of my favorite things about camp is that it works. More specifically, that God uses camp to accomplish his purposes and so…it works.

At our Women’s Retreat, a camper believed in Jesus! She grew up Catholic. Started going to a Christian church. Was invited to Ironwood. Talked with her Pastor’s wife and chose to repent of her sins and believe in Jesus. God used the faithfulness of a local church and the unique tool of camp to change a life.

Camp works because God works.

There have been many stories of the spiritual impact of camp. Lord willing, there will be many stories to come.

Which reminds me. The first week of camp is only 5 weeks away! Summer Staff training is only 4 weeks away!

Could you pray for us as we prepare to reach young people for the Lord?

There are so many details that go into a summer of camp. Games have to be built. Schedules have to be made. Summer Staff have to be trained. Activities have to be prepared. Stages have to be decorated. Music has to be practiced. And so much more.

On top of all that summer preparation, Ironwood still has custom camps and retreats happening through half of May. It’s a whirlwind of activity here at Ironwood and we can’t do it without God’s grace.

Could you pray for us?

I only have 4 minutes left!

I only have one more thing to tell you. Growing Fathers just launched a podcast!

Ep. 39 | Cultivating a Gospel Sharing Habit – Growing Fathers Podcast

What does evangelism look like in the ordinary life of a Christian dad?In this episode, John Dalrymple and Kristopher Schaal continue their discussion of spiritual habits by focusing on one that is often neglected: telling the good news. The conversation connects the Great Commission to everyday fatherhood, showing that disciple-making doesn’t have to be complicated. Through prayer, intentional time, deeper gospel immersion, and family involvement, Christian dads can cultivate an evangelism habit that strengthens both their faith and the faith of those around them.Resources Mentioned:The Exchange (https://exchangemessage.org/)Discovering God’s Grace – Evangelistic Bible Study (https://bit.ly/3Lt8e4A) Disciple-Making Parent – Chap Bettis (https://amzn.to/47fQ50q)Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life – Donald Whitney (https://amzn.to/49jdf90)Habits of Grace – David Mathis (https://amzn.to/4qPG6Ya)What Is the Gospel? – Greg Gilbert (https://amzn.to/4bwEUEM)The Gospel Primer – Milton Vincent (https://amzn.to/4pEmYvk)Article Referenced: https://www.growingfathers.com/3-habits-to-cultivate-in-2021/————————————————–Email: podcast@growingfathers.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/growingfathersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/growing.fathers/Website: https://www.growingfathers.com/
