Youth Group from Calvary of Camden Baptist Church, AR lead by Phillip Millard, spent this week at Higher Ground Retreat.  They really took on a challenge to minister to the children in the Ozark Mountians of Searcy County, AR.   Partnering with leaders and youth from Searcy County Baptist Church the managed and worked in a basketball camp for children.  This they did each morning.  In the Evenings they worked with leaders and youth from Morning Star Baptist Church to do Vacation Bible School.  They evening managed to plant a row of trees at Higher Ground. On the final night Morning Star Baptist Church was filled with children (over 50)  All total, 2 churches and close to 100 children were impacted by this group of fired up youth.  Pastor James Horton believes that this will be a catalist for thier upcoming revival.

Paul told Timothy, 'let no man despise thy youth, but be thou an example' (I Tim. 4:12)  I can think of no greater example of this verse then what I saw from these youth and their leaders this week.   Calvary of Camden, Thank you for participating and for sharing Jesus with the children of Searcy County, AR.
