Baseball Bible Camp 2007

This is the fourth year that Dave Reinemann, a teacher and baseball coach at Northland Lutheran High School (www.nlhs.org), has come down to offer a baseball camp near one of our congregations. Andrew, a NLHS grad who had come on the first two trips, returned this year to assist and translate for Dave.

The congregation Cordero de Dios (Lamb of God) in Moca and Pastor Alex welcomed them warmly and used the camp as an opportunity to get to know neighborhood children (over 50 children participated) and share the Gospel with them. Each day started with a Bible story that showed God’s love in Jesus, especially the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32).

What LOVE God has shown by welcoming us into his waiting arms, just as a loving Father receives with rejoicing the return of his wayward son! We were dead in our trespasses and sin, but God has made us alive again through the life, death and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. We were lost, blinded by earthly desires, but God has found us through the Gospel. It is God’s LOVE that calls us to return to him.

The Lord bless you with his Peace,
NW
