Christian Life
Hello Everyone! I am so excited to tell you about Christian Life. Watching a child come to Christ is the most exciting and most rewarding thing that has ever happened in my life. Christian Life was established to be a God driven avenue for introducing children to the Awesome message of Jesus Christ. By establishing exciting and meaningful relationships with kids, leaders can earn their trust, allowing hearts to be won by God. This isn't done overnight, but takes dedicated and heart felt interest in the lives of our young ones. Kids are so impressionable; they are like sponges, soaking up everything they hear and see. Our goal is for kids to hear the word of God, see it lived everyday by leaders who truly care about them, so that kids will open their hearts for God to set up a new home in them.
I personally have seen the changes that occur when a child opens his/her heart to God. God says for us to plant the seeds, and He will make them grow (1Cor 3:6). Children are our future, and we want to see a future that is filled with the Awesome love of God.
God Bless!
Frontier Forge - Exercising God's Great Commission
Dear Fellow Christians:
We hope this letter finds you all well. Christian Life has felt a calling from God to continue to grow in our faith in regards to Youth Ministry and have decided to take the leap of faith and spread the love we have for Jesus to kids around the world in an awesome way. Having constantly prayed for guidance, we have decided to develop a Youth Christian Camp where kids can be introduced to God and little hearts can be changed forever.
The purpose of this camp is to exercise God’s Great Commission of sharing the love of Jesus Christ by establishing meaningful relationships with kids, earning their trust, and introducing them to the Awesome Life with Jesus Christ.
We are very excited about the opportunity to serve God in this capacity. We have felt for some time now that God is with us on this, and we look to glorify Him in all that we do to the best of our abilities.
We are posting this to ask for your help. The first and most important thing we need is prayer. We would like for you to pray for us and for our entire team as we step out in servitude with God. Pray for our lives, that our walk with Jesus will be an earthly example of Jesus followers, and pray that God’s hand is in all that we do. Also, pray for the kids to whom we will be ministering – that through our efforts, they will come to know and accept Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior. Secondly, we would like to ask you to prayerfully consider providing financial support for this sizeable endeavor. The initial cost estimates to cover acquiring property, establishing lodging, building a roundup room, cafeteria, and sports / activities areas are quite large. This is much larger than us, but not too big for God.
We are not asking you to break the bank. We are asking that if you feel driven by God and would like to financially participate in this awesome journey of changing our world by impacting kids for Christ, please send a check made out to Christian Life, Inc. with "Frontier Forge" in the memo line. Please mail the check to:
Christian Life, Inc.
P.O. Box 91
Sherrills Ford, NC 28673
Any amount you feel led to give is greatly appreciated. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we excitedly and obediently step out with God to accomplish His work.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
Sincerely,
Christian Life
Painful Times
Kids, Are you going through some painful times? You are not alone. Listen to what Jeremy Camp has to say about God's Love. Just click on the video below.
Show God's Love For His Kids
Christian Life is excited about serving God by loving His Children. In 1 Cor 13:4-7, God lays out the definition of love:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
In 1 John 3:18 He told us how to love:
Dear Children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
And in 1 John 4:10 He demonstrated the true meaning of love to all of us:
This is love: Not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
I thank God everyday He is not just a God of rules and words, but that He is a God of love and action. I pray that all of us recognize His Love for us, and use it as a template for the way that we love others. As God's word tells us, Love is not a feeling, love is a deliberate choice of action.
As we go forward from today, I pray that all of us choose to love as God has chosen to love us.
The Christian Life ministries need your help. Our goal is to raise the funds necessary to build Frontier Forge Christian Camp, where God's love will be poured into the little hearts of his children, and new lives will be born in Him. Any little bit helps. God Bless!

What Will You Give For Lent?
I was talking to the kids the other evening, having our family quiet time, when the topic of Lent was raised. First the question was, what is Lent? Then the discussion evolved to the history of the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert fasting, praying and being tempted by Satan. And finally my son said that the kids at school were trying to figure out what they were going to give up for Lent.
I asked him what he thought he should give up. He said that he didn't know. I asked what the other kids thought that they should give up, and again the answer came back, he didn't know.
I thought this was a great opportunity to suggest to him to talk to the other kids at school, that God just doesn't want you to give up one thing or another, what He wants is for you to give up ALL things to Him. I told him the next time the kids ask him what he is going to give up for Lent, tell them that he is giving up control of everything in his life and handing it to God.
So, what will you give up for Lent. God doesn't want just for you not to eat meat.....God wants all of you....everything. God wants you to give up everything and give your life to Him!
