Victory at EBC 16!
Below is the glory story Pam posted on the GNN message board after they got back from EBC 16! We thank God for every one of you who prayed for them as they went into serious front line spiritual battle for lost souls!
I'm sure that it is not uncommon for major spiritual battle before going to a boot camp. I had never been to one and was completely excited when I filled out the application. Once I got accepted, then the fiery darts of the evil one started coming! I got real discouraged about leaving my daughter for so long, I didn't want to spend the money to go there. As it was, we had to borrow a large chunk of money to make our trip, pay bills etc. But God provided. I was still stubborn as ever, though, I did not want to go. Joe and I had discussed it and even sent an email to Tim saying we weren't going. The very next day we received a check in the mail from a wonderful sister seed sower, who we had never met. She felt the Lord leading her to send us some money so we could attend camp. Needless to say, God got my attention, it was obvious He wanted us to go, even if I was "dragging my feet". My attitude slowly changed and I was so glad that I went.
One witnessing encounter I had that sticks out in my mind was with a young lady named Maria who was working, passing out flyers for her job. I gave her the smart card and basically went through the GPT. She was totally shocked that even a lie would send her to hell. I could tell the Holy Spirit was pricking her heart, she looked convicted, said she didn't want to go to hell, I told her that God sees her heart, she doesn't need me to say a prayer for her, she can just talk to Him and ask for forgiveness. (I'm condensing a lot, you guys all know how it goes 
) I wasn't thinking to give her any other tract, so she just left. I went and told Josephus and Jen what had happened and Jen asked if I had given her a Save yourself Some Pain. I prayed that Maria was still close or that I could find her, as it had been five or ten minutes. I grabbed a SYSP and went looking for her, and there she was sitting down reading the back of the smart card. I gave her the booklet, told her I would be praying for her and walked away. I should have probably done more, but I wasn't thinking very well. But that's where the Holy Spirit comes in.
I just thank God for that 1-2-1 because I needed that encouragement. I hope I will see Maria in Heaven one day!!
I had some struggles throughout the camp, but God was faithful and came through in huge, miraculous ways. I overcame a lot of fear through His strength. I don't know if it was morning sickness, too much heat or what, but I had really bad headaches and nausea pretty much all the time, except when witnessing. I also have IBS and it has crippled my social life in the past. But God totally put that aside at camp and, with much prayer, it wasn't even an issue. God really stretched me and I learned and grew a lot down in Miami. I met some awesome brothers and sisters who I grew to love so much in so little time. The unity that we all had was so amazing, I can't wait to fellowship perfectly in heaven!!! How awesome will that be!!
To summarize everything I guess I would have to use the phrase "we go out dragging our feet and come back clicking our heels." That's exactly what God did with me, I am truly rejoicing now for having gone and will cherish the experience and continue living out the fire that was ignited for the lost souls. I love you guys and I truly do thank God for you!!!
