Kansas Nebraska Convention of Southern Baptists (KNCSB)

Children’s camp sees 42 saved

The annual children’s camp for Central and Western Kansas Baptist associations was held June 4-8 at Webster Conference Center, Salina, Kan. A total of 42 children accepted Christ as their Savior during the week. “Children are ripe for the gospel,” said Terry McIlvain, KNCSB director of youth ministries.

A fund-raising campaign is now underway to raise $800,000 to complete the multipurpose building now under construction at Webster Conference Center, Salina, Kan.

The WCC board of directors learned more about the fund-raising effort during their meeting on Friday, June 8.

As a part of the fund-raising effort, a family has offered a $100,000 matching gift. Please mail gifts to WCC, 5410 SW 7th St., Topeka, KS 66606-2331. Designate gifts for “2007 WCC Challenge Gift.”

The annual children’s camp for Central and Western Kansas Baptist associations was winding down during the board meeting. Board members rejoiced when they learned 42 children were saved that week.

“Children are ripe for the gospel,” said Terry McIlvain. He is WCC administrator and KNCSB director of youth ministries.

Participants in summer camps at Webster Conference Center will find a new element on the high-ropes challenge course. The course is designed to help individual campers gain confidence. However, the addition to the course, called “Jacob’s Ladder,” is a team-building effort for two people.

Other improvements planned at WCC include:

• Shade pavilions by the lake and at the climbing tower.
 
• A volleyball court on the beach.
 
• A skate park.
