Ella* messaged the Word of Life Island Instagram account the Saturday night before the last week of camp – registration for which began on Sunday. She had a scholarship for camp, but she never registered because she wasn’t sure if she wanted to come. However, the Holy Spirit was prompting her to attend, and she was ready to do anything it took to get here. The Island was 100% full, but in a leap of faith, Ella decided to come anyway, hoping and praying that something would open up so she could register. Because of a last-minute cancellation, we found a spot for her, and she was able to attend. On Thursday, Ella found the staff member who had spoken with her on Instagram and shared some very exciting news – she had completely rededicated her life to the Lord during the week, and she decided to attend the Bible Institute this year! Ella also became Camper of the Week, an award given to a camper who exhibits great life change during their week with us.
