Youth Camp

I am quite behind in updating the news of the summer. Here’s an attempt to get back on track. July14-17 found about 25 of us at our first ever Youth Camp for teenagers from our churches, and other friends. I led the team putting the camp together. We held the camp at a planinarski dom (mountain house) near the town of Daruvar. For these four days the teens enjoyed Bible lessons on the theme of, “We Found Love in a Hopeless Place.” There was also lots of singing, playing, evening campfires, and trips to a local water park. One of the key parts of the camp were the groups that the teens spent time in, processing the Bible lessons for each day. These groups were led by adults from our churches. Included in these groups were times of blessing and encouragement for the teens. The groups also played games together as a team. All of this established a family atmosphere in the groups that contributed to the success of the camp. The camp was well received by teens and adults alike and some asked about future such experiences. Please pray for our youth to grow and increase in their desire to follow Jesus.
