A Camp Worker s Primer...excerpts from the Wilds Staff Training Manual, Summer 2007 How did I become a camp worker? -We were volunteered (actually commanded) by God. -Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. What is our goal? -Our goal at camp is the same as our goal in life which is to glorify God and to point others to Christ by our actions and attitudes. What is counseling? -Counseling is the process by which one Christian helps restore another Christian to a place of usefulness. What does it mean to restore? -Restore means to mend the net, to set the fracture. It carries with it the idea of returning the part to usefulness. What is my greatest Resource and Advisor? -The Holy Spirit of God is with you as you lead, guide, and counsel. You should never counsel alone! What is my ministry as a counselor? -Your task is to minister the Word. All advise and counsel should be given in light of God s Word. How do you counsel unbelievers? -You don t! Unbelievers have no desire to please God and have a nature that is set against God. What unbelievers need is the Gospel. Always start there when counseling.
What if I have a camper with a need that I do not know the answer to? -You can refer that camper to an adult for counseling. However, realize that when you do so, you are referring yourself as well with them. Our goal isn t just with the campers. We have a goal to help you become equipped to deal with issues and sin problems Scripturally. If you don t know the answer, we want to help you know what the answer is. What if a camper offers to tell you something if you promise not to tell? -You might say, Hezekiah, I really appreciate you trusting me with your problems, but I can t really make a promise like that. Keeping something a secret might not be the best things to help you obey God. However, I will promise that I wont tell anyone unless they are part of the problem or part of the solution.and I will let you know if that is necessary. *Understand, much of the sin we face in life is done privately and should be handled privately. Please refrain from discussing camper issues with other teens. Instead, spend time in prayer that God will give them victory over that sin. *If a child verbalizes that he or she is in an abusive situation, let Pastor Harry or Pastor Felber know as soon as possible. These types of situations are very sensitive and need to be handled carefully. Is it ever right to disobey the rules? -Hebrews 13:17 says to obey them that have the authority over you. At Pathfinders Summer Bible Camp, your authority is the administration of the church. Situation ethics has become rampant in society where, even in Christian circles, people feel they are an exception to the rules. For example...keeping lights on after lights out because of cabin prayer time...justifying being late to the service because the cause seems good. It is always right to obey your authorities unless there is a Biblical reason for doing otherwise. Please keep this in mind as you minister with your campers throughout the week.
God s Method for Change...excerpts from the Wilds Staff Training Manual, Summer 2007 God s Method for change is found in these three steps. *Put off *Renew *Put on Ephesians 4:17-24 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 1. Put Off: Confess and Forsake (Towards God) -To same the same thing, to abandon -I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 2. Put Off: Make Restitution (Towards Man) -Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. -Matthew 5:23-25 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
3. Put Off: Radical Amputation -making it hard, if not impossible, to get back to my sin -Matthew 5:28-30 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 4. Put On: Replacement -replacing the unrighteous with the righteous, replacing unbelief and mistrust with belief and trust -Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lust therof. -Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. 5. Put On: Accountability -enlisting the help of wise, mature friends and family who understand the goals that God has for my life -Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

-The MAP Method for Bible Study 1. Memorize the Passage *It is important when facing difficult times or temptations to know exactly what God said- word for word. Satan was able to gain a foothold in Eve s life because she didn t know exactly what God had said. A man who cannot remember God s exact words is in danger of leaning to his own understandings. (Prov 3:5-6) -Memorization hints for Scripture Memory -handwrite verses -use first letter helps -find a Scripture memory partner 2. Analyze the Passage *Study the passage asking the Holy Spirit to give you a thorough understanding of its message. -Intense focus: study the words of the passage, list the major words in passage and use a dictionary to find the meaning of each, focus on understanding the meaning of the passage in context...why did God give this to us in Scripture 3. Personalize the Message *Plan out concrete ways to make your life become consistent with Scripture. Plan schedules, steps, take the necessary action to make it personal. -What will be my response the next time I am faced with this temptation? What will be my response the next time I am faced with this pressure? What will be my response the next time I am treated unfairly?
