I'm a life challenge participant.
I went through the ministry several years ago and cannot even begin to explain how it blessed and changed my life forever.
What you may not know is that Life Challenge has been residing ON a children's camp near Waxahachie for many years.
We cannot let one incident determine the outcome of many souls that will surely perish if this program meets too much resistance.
When I was in the ministry, select men were allowed to help with camp activities and interact with the children. The children played a detrimental role in my own salvation.
Now a father myself, I do understand the concerns of everyone. For the love of God people, if you ever wanted to help anyone now is your chance. Just let go and let God take of the rest.
[Ed Note: This is an old debate that has been settled. Life Challenge is undoubtedly a noble project. Be that as it may, it deserves oversight and common-sense should prevail when locating a camp next to what could end up being a great temptation for someone in the program. Life Challenge will go on even without being next to the Girl and Boy Scout camps.]
