A Tribute to Crosspoint Camps - After 24 Years, No More Camp
One of my college roommates informed me that today is the last day of Lifeway's Crosspoint Camps, a Christian sports camp for 4-8 graders. I cannot begin to describe how this camp impacted my life. My first ministry experience was in 98-2000, serving at colleges across the South. Fridays were the big days because it was "Gameday." Today was the last Gameday. So I write with tears of joy and gratitude and sadness. These opportunities were life-changing for me.
I praise God for how He used this program in my life, the lives of campers, and the lives of others in the church. I was introduced to some of my best friends, some of my favorite authors, hard work, the discipline of prayer, the power of the Gospel, the value of kids, and how to load a Budget truck in under 15 minutes with an entire camp full of materials. God also used this experience to call me into ministry as a young college student.

it was there you acquired the nickname 'Bone' and taught your first sermon on little foxes. Needless to say, you've come a long way since that time......Thanks for making my summer of 99 on of the best ever. Eddie
