Saturday brought many blessings to PSR this week. Being able to sleep in and have breakfast in the cabins was one. Another was being able to experience the Sabbath Village set up outdoors, near the south end of camp.

| Jesus quotes scripture to the Govenor |
In the Sabbath Village, our campers met several characters who were caught up in their own lives, trying to sell their wares to passersby to get through each day. Eventually, the governor of the village came through and looked them over, deciding they were all worthless human beings who did not contribute positively to society.
One particular visitor, however, happened to be in the crowd, and He explained how appearances and possessions are not all that matter in life. As you can probably guess, that visitor was Jesus. After the governor left, we witnessed the change in the villagers’ attitudes and the effect Jesus’s words had on their lives.
The effect Jesus can have on an entire village is powerful, but His effect on a single person is just as beautiful. This week, Pine Springs Ranch looked on as a camper was baptized in our very own pool. It brings us great joy to have our campers make the decision to give their lives to Christ in front of their friends and family here.
Now that we have officially entered our final week of the year, we have a new batch of campers. Some of them have been here for at least eight years, and some are here for the very first time. We hope that as these teenagers come in and experience camp, they are also affected by the love of Jesus.

| Sunday Night at the Ranch for our final week. |
All of us on the PSR staff are looking forward to seeing what this week brings for these campers. Tonight, we had Sunday Night at the Ranch for the last time this year. As we wrap up each program, we are hoping to reach as many kids as we can, so that even more may decide they want to better know God.
Excited to finish the year strong, -Colin
