College Students Modeling a Life for Christ
Sports Camp is centered around sports and faith. Joshua enjoys the sports part of camp, but he loves growing in his walk with Christ during the week of camp. Before his first camp experience he had longed to see others demonstrating how to pursue Christ, and he found that at sports camp. The college athletes and huddle leaders served as mentors who modeled how to live for Christ in everything they did. He remembers one time during when he had some questions about spiritual things. He went to his huddle leader who not only took the time to listen and talk with him but pulled in another huddle leader as well. The fact that two huddle leaders would take the time to sit down with him and invest in his life left a lasting mark on his heart.
Joshua’s huddle leaders consistently challenged Joshua to walk with Christ when he went back home and continued to model how to live like Christ outside of camp. One leader came to visit him in the hospital when he was sick. Others texted him regularly to check in on him and challenge him to keep living for Jesus. They showed him what it looked like to be a man of Christ. Those leaders will never know how deep their impact was on him, but Joshua wants to invest in other young men in the same way his leaders invested in him.
