Fire Came Down!
|
Fire came down on our campus last May. But don't worry; it didn't burn anyone. John the Baptist said of Jesus: "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire" (Matthew 3:11).
On May 6-13, Jesus sent the fire of the Holy Spirit to blaze on our campus under a big tent at our Wildfire Tent Revival. Seven Campion Academy students were prayerfully selected to speak for our revival series and God used them to ignite a flame in the hearts of those who attended. There were at least three tangible ways the Holy Spirit moved:
1. Decisions
More than 100 people decided to attend the series on most nights to hear powerful, Spirit-filled preaching. I studied and prepared 4 students for baptism during our meetings and was ecstatic to see about a dozen youth decide to be baptized throughout the week! I had the great privilege of working with pastors Joe Martin and Nick Clark to baptize a total of 14 youth at our Wildfire Tent Revival. And there were about 5 more people who expressed interest in being baptized in the near future.
2. Youth Empowerment
Five of us pastors served as preaching coaches to work alongside and empower our seven student speakers. We were proud to see our Campion Academy students preach God's truth in the power of His Spirit. A variety of students were involved in greeting, ushering, singing, and preaching. This Tent Revival was truly a student-led event.
3. Mission Progress
Campion Academy's mission is to help our students know Jesus and share Jesus. And our one overarching mission on our campus (Campion S.D.A. Church, Campion Academy, and H.M.S. Elementary School) is to be all about people, namely, to serve and save people in our community. While we still have quite a bit of work to do to fulfill our mission, we made great strides at our Wildfire Tent Revival.

Judy Olson Featured in June
Adventist Review
Never Too Old
Even at 94, Colorado resident continues her mission for orphans.
By Sandra Blackmer
When Judy Olson was born on December 14, 1921, on a farm near Underwood, Minnesota, Warren G. Harding was president of the United States, Prohibition was in effect, the Great Depression was about eight years in the future, and no home had a television. Bread cost about 10 cents a loaf, gas was 22 cents a gallon, and the average house went for about $8,000.
But even though much has obviously changed in our world since then, one thing for Judy remains the same: a sense of mission and service instilled in her at a young age.
At 94, Judy spends her days making dresses for orphans.

A Good Work Ethic Pays Off
"If I was ever being lazy my dad and brother would get after me until I did my job correctly the first time," says Kyle Rushold, recent graduate of Campion Academy and the school's first student to get his own parking spot.
The work ethic instilled by his family paid off when he started working for the maintenance department at Campion after his sophomore year. When Kyle started his senior year, Plant Services Director Glenn O'Halloran hired Kyle to be the student assistant for Plant Services, a position that requires him to supervise up to six students on the morning work crew.

Campion Students Befriend Elderly through the ASSIST Program
Chris Johnson, a recent graduate of Campion Academy, found himself working in a place he'd never expected-a nursing home. Granted, the
Green House Homes at Mirasol, in Loveland, Colorado, aren't your typical nursing home, but Chris had no experience and wasn't even sure what the job entailed when he agreed to give ASSIST a try.
ASSIST is a grant-funded program managed by Southern Adventist University that pairs students with senior citizens to build relationships and offer assistance. Campion has participated in the program since 2008.
Chris spent two hours a day, five days a week with the residents, talking with them, going for walks, watching TV, or reading to them from the newspaper. "It became a natural friendship over time; it wasn't like I was working," he adds. "Some of the elders were really sad to see me go. One of them said, 'You're like a grandson to me.'"

Pray for our Missionaries in Zambia
The latest stage of the Zambia Mansa Church building mission project began on June 13 with 27 missionaries from Colorado, Kansas, Washington State, Texas, and other locations. Their route took them to Dulles airport, through Dubai, and then to Lusaka, Zambia.
This current trip is a continuation of a 2014 building and evangelistic mission to Zambia when a team from the Rocky Mountain Conference raised two thirds of the walls of the school's new church and said they would return in 2016 to paint and dedicate the church that local work crews would continue to build.
Members of the group will be sharing their testimonies with each other in the evenings and helping with work on the church as well as building the security wall in the day time. The group will return to Denver and other locations on July 4. [Text and photo by Lynne Eagan. Pictured below are: back row from the left: Paul Eagan, Steven Scheffler, Kevin Ames (VOP),
