NW Bible Camp, an Unforgettable Adventure

Christian Author D.I. Telbat reflects on a morning at NW Bible Camp, an unforgettable adventure and ministry. And a time alone with God.

A Reflection: NW Bible Camp, an Unforgettable Adventure

My watch alarm went off at 5am. I’d been asleep for only a few minutes since one of the campers had had a nightmare. As a senior counselor, I responded to all disturbances in my dorm.

The kids wouldn’t wake for breakfast for another hour. Even most of the counselors were still recovering from the night’s activities and the previous hectic day. This was my hour to enjoy the Rocky Mountains!

Carrying my Bible, I crept outside the boys’ dorm and moved down the rocky path to the peaceful lake. The sky was a pale blue, as the sun promised to soon emerge.

I found my familiar spot on the grassy bank of the still water. It was a spot I had chosen in years past as a junior counselor. A massive mountain peak rose directly east. Lake, forest, mountains – and now the sun!

A fish jumped. The ripple across the water disappeared under a layer of hovering mist.

Closing my eyes, I felt the first rays of morning sun hit my face. A squirrel fussed over a pinecone next to me, but I didn’t open my eyes. This was God’s creation; beauty He created for me to enjoy.

When I opened my eyes again, the mist was gone, and the sun was above the highest ridge. I read from Psalm 121, and sought strength for the coming day of games, laughter, Bible stories, and canoe trips.

In 24 hours, I’d be admiring another rising sun, just as exhausted, but just as content and full of peace.

With a deep breath, I filled my lungs with crisp air, and my soul seemed to revive. It was time to wake up my campers.

The End

See you in the field!

David Telbat

The Bible Camp in this reflection is part of Bible Centered Ministries Intl.

There are many ways to serve the Lord. Helping at a Bible Camp is one way, or in your local church, but there are many other ways as well. In “Resources” on the menu bar above, we’ve given a link for “Ministries Where You Can Get Involved.” Check them out for ideas!

Read my previous Author Reflection, “God’s Timetable.” Another Author Reflection you might like to read is, “How to Gain Perspective on Natural Disasters.”

David’s Latest Novel Update Post

Feb ’18 D.I. Telbat Novel Update + Short Story

Welcome, Reading Friends! This is Dee with our Feb 2018 D.I. Telbat Novel Update on David’s latest and upcoming writing endeavors. You’ll also find a link below to one of his past short stories. Thanks for joining us!

DISTANT HARM

David Telbat is finished with his second draft of Distant Harm, Book Three in The COIL Legacy! He said, “Tell readers that I can’t wait for them to read the latest COIL installment. It will challenge us all to live more sacrificially in these Last Days.”

After he goes through the manuscript another time, he will prepare related materials (such as a character sketch and blog posts with behind-the-scenes info) to send to me, along with the document. The book will then move into the editing phase. Four sets of eyes will be on this new novel during the next month. Then I’ll get it ready for our esteemed Beta Readers. Watch for more info to come soon!
