My wife helped out at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes camp two weeks ago at Mid-America Nazarene University and I thought I would swing by to grab some pics/video at a few of the chapel meetings. The camp speaker for the week was Kennon Vaughn of Downline ministries in Memphis, Tennessee. The camp focus was on leadership and challenged middle-school and high school kids to take a leadership role in their communities by serving others, leading by example, and sharing the love of Christ with their peers. A few of the campers from this camp were at the Iowa FCA camp last week where two campers drowned. From talking to FCA staff, it appears that the two young campers accepted Christ the night they drowned. It’s an obvious tragedy, but hopefully lives will be impacted positively through this incident. My wife and I grew up in FCA in Oklahoma and ultimately met through the organization, so this tragedy has hit home with us. If you’re new to this website, you can see our Proposal video which took place at FCA camp in 2006 and is currently the #1 rated proposal on YouTube. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the two young men who passed away this past week. -Barnezy-
