Welcome to Camp!!! The entire staff here at Cedar Lake Camp is excited that you are here. This year we will be studying Paul s three missionary journeys from the second half of the book of Acts. If you were here last year, you will hopefully remember that we learned about when Paul first believed in Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus. He was called Saul then and was a persecutor of the church. This year we will read about all that he accomplished and all that he suffered for the cause of Christ. This is your booklet to work through this week and to keep after camp. You will receive your awards in this book at the end of the week, so hang on to it. The most important thing you find in the book is your daily Bible studies. You may work through these studies during your personal devotion time or any time during the day. Your personal devotions, each morning, is a time for you to spend learning about and focusing on God.
