All of our minds carry memories that remain with us for our entire lives. There are things that happen in our youth that change our lives for an eternity. Camping ministries have been around for many years and they have had a huge impact on kids and adults alike. People of all ages have been served and reached through camping.

On today's program, Dean will visit with a friend who spent much of his childhood at the same camp that he grew up with. Both men and their families were touched by the outdoor experiences as well as those that cared for the campers year after year.

The daily lives of most military personnel, many adults and even some children, have a mission and a purpose. Unfortunately, many people go through life with no mission or purpose. These are lives that have no godly direction.

On this week's program, we will meet a man who served our nation for over 30 years with a purpose and a mission each day for the well being of our nation. When he finished his career in the military, he quickly realized that he no longer had a mission to live out. Through the calling of the Lord, he knew that there was still work to be done.

In our world, you have a hard time finding much of any kind of hope to carry a person through hard times. There are a lot of false hopes everywhere we look. Things look good on the surface, but when times get hard, we try to rest on these false hopes and the things we were resting on crash under the pressure. What we find in the end is there is only one true hope that can be counted on when the hardest of times comes down on us.

On today's program, we will meet a man and his wife who have dealt with a terrible challenge for over 30 years and where he found a hope that has held him up through the worst of times in his life.
