Camp FJHS: The parable of a mission trip

Students who attend summer camp or serve on summer mission trips are set ablaze to serve God and influence the world around them. Their enthusiasm is often dampened by the challenges they face when returning home to begin a new school year. Early Christians in the New Testament also faced many challenges and needed support and guidance to mature and grow in their faith. The Apostles provided encouragement and inspiration through letters called epistles. Camp FJHS is a collection of modern day epistles that answer questions today’s young believers are asking. This short chapter book features emails and a group chat exchanged between students and camp leaders about dealing with rejection, overcoming betrayal by believers, knowing when to ask for help, and influencing others without being influenced by their inappropriate behavior. Each chapter is followed by reflections, scripture applications and a prayer. Camp FJHS can serve as a resource for group discussions or an individual bible study.
