This document summarizes research on factors that predict positive spiritual outcomes in children. Studies found that the most important predictor is "family religiousness", including regular family prayer, Bible study, and serving others together. Additional factors included lifetime church involvement, connections with faith leaders, and daily conversation with parents. Parents of "spiritual champions" prioritized character development, clear rules, media limits, and intentionally fostering their child's faith through actions like daily devotions and modeling faith. Across studies, meaningful family faith practices were highly correlated with positive spiritual outcomes in children.
This document discusses spiritual gifts, which are special abilities given by the Holy Spirit to members of the body of Christ to help in the salvation of souls.

It also discusses recognizing gifts in club members through an organized, varied program that allows freedom and participation.

Everyone has something of God in them… a seed of God that was planted the moment of their conception. Genesis reminds us that God has created us in God’s image… and that is very good. Think about that for a moment… There is something uniquely wonderful in you. A seed waiting to be cultivated and cared for. We all have it. Each of us reflect that image in a different and unique way.

Moving from 'Just Informing God' to 'Involving God'Elisha Simushi
Inviting God into one's situation means involving His thoughts, heart, goodness, wisdom, ability, power and grace to take charge. When one involves God, they listen rather than talk, lean on His unlimited knowledge rather than their own, and see God-results as God takes over. Effective prayer involves rather than just informs God.

This document discusses how to raise godly children in an ungodly world. It emphasizes that the marriage relationship should be the top priority and that child-centered parenting can threaten family life. Parents are encouraged to teach biblical virtues and values by exemplifying them through loving their spouse and children. Obedience training should involve immediate, complete obedience without threats, bribes or excuses. More is caught than taught, so parents must model moral behavior through their own actions and words.
The Vital Role of Sacrifice in Understanding HolinessSandy Kress
The document discusses the vital role of sacrifice in understanding holiness. It argues that sacrifice is central to both good and evil acts, and is essential to the practice of faith in God. Sacrifice strengthens families and allows future generations to benefit from those who came before. For Christians, Jesus is the ultimate example of sacrifice. Drawing near to God through ritual sacrifice in sacred spaces allows people to show reverence, cement relationships, seek atonement, and celebrate blessings, bringing holiness into their lives. While ancient animal sacrifices are no longer practiced, people can still sacrifice their time, energy, resources, and selves to serve God and fulfill their purpose.

Elijah, a prophet of God, had become burned out after experiencing great victories and facing intense opposition. He felt isolated and overwhelmed, wanting God to end his life. Burnout is a risk for children's ministry leaders as well. The article provides ways for leaders to avoid burnout, including focusing on relationships with God and family, identifying one's calling, recognizing gifts and limitations, exercising mind and body, developing skills, and understanding ministry is important but not the only priority. Burnout stems from factors like too much to do, lack of support, and poor alignment of gifts. Staying "FIRED UP" in ministry involves these strategies.

doctor, grocery clerk or contractor, these volunteer cabin leaders are
very important players in the overall ministry to students at summer
camp. We look for leaders who have a love for God and a love for kids.
Cabin leaders have the unique opportunity to spend six days sharing
their life with a group of campers. In that week, a cabin leader and
camper will likely learn more about each other than in a year of youth
meetings or Sunday School classes. God is so faithful to open doors for
relationship mentoring that has a lifetime of impact. And though the fi-
nancial obligation for a cabin leader is low (no cost and food & lodging
are provided), we understand that the time commitment is significant
(but well worth it!). It is our prayer that God will richly reward every
volunteer with His blessing for ministering to the life of a child.
Each church is responsible to send one adult cabin leader for every
1-8 campers of each gender.
We find that if cabin leaders come from the participating churches, they
are able to start relationships and ministry that can be followed up on
and continued at a home church.
On behalf of our camp staff, your church, and the camp:
WELCOME TO THE TEAM!
4. CABIN LEADER RESPONSIBILITIES . . .

5. Where Do I Fit and What Is My Role?
Campers
Cabin Leaders
Deans
Camp Directors
Campers: As cabin leaders and staff, we are here to lift up these campers in prayer, with
our words and by our actions. The campers are the reason why this camp exists and we want
them to leave camp knowing that they are anointed children of the living God.
Cabin Leaders: The front lines of ministry. Cabin leaders will have more interaction with the
students than anyone else at camp. They exist to shepherd the students in their cabin and
nurture spiritual growth as well as meet what ever needs the students may have.
Deans: Exist to assist the cabin leaders and allow them to focus on the students. If problems
should arise within a cabin with a student and the problem persists, the Deans will assist by
taking that student aside and dealing with the issue so the cabin leader is free to serve the
rest of their students.
ALL POTENTIAL ISSUES OR PROBLEMS THAT ARISE SHOULD BE DIRECTLY BROUGHT TO
THE ATTENTION OF THE DEANS.
Co-Directors: Exists to encourage and support all students, cabin leaders, and camp staff as
needs arise. Please feel free to consult with the Directors at anytime if you need prayer or
encouragement. They will also be on the constant lookout for those in need.
The Co-Directors also oversee all camp activities. THE BUCK STOPS HERE!! If problems
persist with students the camp directors will be consulted by the Deans. The Camp Directors
exist to serve everyone in the camp and oversee spiritual growth for all who are
participating.

Fruitful Cabin Lead
Cabin Leaders are...
Alert! - Know where your kids are. If they are on the field, playing a game, or
drinking a coke, then that’s where you need to be.
If they are scattered in ten directions, then be in ten different places (not all at the
same time). (Colossians 3:15)
Responsive! - If you see a potentially unhealthy or disruptive situation arising,
deal with it appropriately. Reacting emotionally will escalate the problem. Count to
ten and let your response to the kids be birthed out of love and respect, and the
leading of the Holy Spirit. (Jude 22,23) – RESPOND don’t REACT
Unified in Leadership - If the need for discussion, or even confrontation,
with another leader is necessary, let it be out of love and respect, and do it in
private.
We want to model healthy relationships and communication. (Colossians 3: 12-14)
Positive - If you complain, grimace, whine, moan, or drag your feet you will have
a whole cabin of kids following your example. On the contrary, positive enthusiasm
inspires, energizes, and motivates people. For a cabin leader who is motivated by
sincere love, one response is acceptable in all situations, “That’s great, I love
it!” (Psalm 19:14) POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE!! The response and attitude of
students are contingent our your attitude in a given situation!
Role Models - For many of the kids, their only example of what God is like
could be your life. This doesn’t require that you’re perfect, know everything, or put
on some false spirituality.
But strive in humility to put on the character of Christ and relate to the kids like
Jesus would. Even ask yourself quietly, “Is this the highest and best for this person?”
or “Is this the highest and best for this situation?” (I John 2:5,6)

Fruitful Cabin Lead
Cabin Leaders are...
Faithful – Fulfills what they have committed themselves to with excellence. 1
Thessalonians 5:24 says, “The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.”
Faithful leaders do what they have been asked to do.
Teachable – Willing to learn from others and follow the leadership of the Camp
Director, Deans/Camp Pastors, Cabin Leaders and other staff.
Committed to God’s Word – A fruitful leader is always following after the
Lord and seeking to look more like Him. Your passion and desire to grow closer to
Jesus is the most important thing that you can impart to the students in your cabin.
Loving - As a cabin leader, your role from the time you arrive until you leave for
home is to love kids 24 hours a day. Kids won’t care how much you know until they
know how much you care. Your unconditional love can impact their lives and make
an eternal difference. (I Timothy 1:5)
Present - The planned activities, meals and meetings are for you and the
campers. Be there on time or early. A shepherd doesn’t tell the sheep where to go
and then stay behind, a shepherd goes and the sheep follow his example.
(John 10: 3, 4)
Giving - Present your needs to the Lord and then ask for His strength and help in
serving the kids. A cabin leader who approaches kids with needs of their own, is like
an empty sponge that soaks up all of the life from everything it touches. Instead, be
like a full sponge that drenches everything it touches with love and strength. (I Peter
5: 2,3) REMEMBER!!! You are there for the campers and you exist for them, they DO
NOT exist for you!!!
8. Ministry Tool Box
The Lord is placing a group of young people into your care for a week this
summer to lead and to guide them in their walk with Jesus. It is your job
to build students up and to help affirm their identity in Christ. They will
remember you and the relationship with Jesus that you modeled for
them. How will they remember you?
Building Team Unity: Creating an environment where students are excited
about team unity and growing together in their relationships with the Lord is vital at
camp!
Set the Pace - At the beginning of camp, meet with your students and express
your heart and your excitement for the things that the Lord is going to do. Encourage
them to decide up front what they want to get out of the week and also what they
want to give. Make a note of the goals that each one of your campers is seeking after
to help them to reach those goals during the week.
Decorations and Theme – Deciding upon a theme for your cabin and
decorating it will help convey to your student that you care about them and that you
are invested in the week. Girl campers enjoy helping the cabin leaders to decorate
the cabin as they arrive. Having lots of supplies, inspiring creativity can be a great
way to get acquainted. *see next page for helpful suggestions from past years.
Words of Encouragement – Coming to camp prepared with note cards,
postcards or stationary on which you can write words of encouragement to your
students will be a good way to connect with your student throughout the week.
Post Camp Follow-up – Be sure to get the contact information for your
students and check up on them periodically. If your campers are from your church,
you may even want to arrange a cabin reunion in the weeks following camp. Once the
students have returned to the classrooms, it may be a great time to help them to
reestablish some of the commitments to the Lord that they made at camp.
9. There are daily themes given to cabins to compete in decorating as well as daily
clean cabin awards. Bring extra colored paper, markers. The following list are items
that some Cabin Leaders have found helpful to have:
A case of water w/a marker pen for campers to put their names on a
bottle or a water cooler
Popcorn (microwave) or snacks of some sort that campers can eat late
at night when hungry (no sugar or caffeine). Cash for snack/coffee shop
and vending machines.
Pillow, sheets and blankets (for a twin) instead of a sleeping bag
Digital camera
Extra coat or sweatshirt to loan to a camper
Tape (scotch, duct, or masking) and/or thumb tacks
Assorted decorations/craft materials (ribbon, yarn, scissors, colored
markers, pens, construction paper, play dough, container to keep it in)
Extension cord
Fan
Cards, envelopes to write/send notes to your kids for mail call or for
the kids to send letters home.
Earplugs
Alarm clock and watch
Enough pens and pencils for your cabin.
Bible, 4x6 cards for kids to write verses on and prayer needs, etc.
Medium size plastic bags for kids to put dirty clothes in
Room Freshener
CD player or IPOD docking station for playing music in the cabin that
you select
Something special to send home with your kids (journal, special card)
or a themed costume item that is special to your cabin (bandanas, hats,
funny ears or teeth).
10. Relationship Building Tips
Learn your campers’ names.
Understand your campers. What is important to them?
Be mindful of doing little things: (i.e. eye contact, pats on the back, timely words of
encouragement, noting positive points you view in their life, etc.)
Be clear and explicit about what you expect. Set clear limits!
Be a listener, not a lecturer.
Allow the campers to be the “experts.” Draw them out with questions that begin
with “How…” “Why…” “What…” “Where…”, etc.—questions that require more than a
“yes” or “no” answer.
Be positive in attitude and action. Practice what you preach. Let your actions equal
your words. Demonstrate Christ-like servant-hood.
Allow campers to “save-face.” Be alert to potentially embarrassing situations and
look for a way to resolve and address them, with a minimum of embarrassment to the
camper.
Ask God for help, insight, discernment and wisdom in relating to each of your camp-
ers. Pray daily for each of them.
Know how to lead someone in the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
11. Relationship Building Tips…(cont.)
HOW DO I LEAD SPIRITUALLY?
The key to confidence in spiritual leadership is preparation. If you have thought
through the way you’ll respond to basic situations (such as leading a child to
Christ), you’ll be much more comfortable in the actual situation. Trust God to
guide you in your leading.
Preparation in the following areas will help build your confidence:
1. Know how to lead people to Jesus.
2. Know how to answer hard questions. Don’t be afraid of tough issues. If you don’t
know an answer admit it. Not knowing the answer immediately doesn’t mean
there is no answer. Say instead, “I don’t know, but let’s see if we can work to-
gether to find out.”
3. Know how to apply God’s principles to real issues.
4. Know how to discuss spiritual issues naturally. Kids need to see God as One who
is interested in their baseball game, their skits and fun times, and their interper-
sonal relationships. Be creative in your approach and allow the conversation to
be as natural as it would be with any other subject.
