The gates have closed. The laughter of the campers faded with the setting of the sun. And though the grounds are now empty, the silence cannot drown out all that God has done at Camp Longridge this summer.

This week began as any other, but with added excitement and anticipation from the staff. From the over twenty children that came forward Monday night to ask Jesus to be their Savior to the overwhelming presence of God in Thursday night’s worship service, God’s hand could be seen in every second, every moment of this week.

And the summer as a whole has been exactly the same: every week, every day, every second was drenched with the presence of God and guided by his very hand. Many campers came to know Christ as Savior and Lord. Several students heard a clear call to spend their lives serving Jesus. Countless others discovered areas in their lives that needed changing and who God really is and can be to them every single day. Students arrived at Longridge in one state of mind and left changed; not because of anything we did, but because of what God accomplished in this place.

The gates are closed. Another summer has ended, and we can truly say the Lord reigns in this place.
