Camp Update

The late night crew, keeping everyone up :)

I got back from a couple weeks of camp. Man, did God "knock our socks off" once again. I participated in a camp with some fellow youth leaders for a week strategizing for the upcoming year and leading some small-group discussions. It was a productive week. That was followed up with my church's youth camp. Words cannot express how God moved in this camp. We were blessed to be staying at a cabin in Paltiniş, Romania, with a spectacular view of the Carpathian mountains...adding further proof to my claim that Romania IS the MOST beautiful country. I think the fact that we were well organized for this camp made a huge difference. The Bible study was just that, a study, interactive and challenging. The theme of the camp was "The Final Destination" as we looked at living a life with and for Christ. We enjoyed laughing so hard, we cried, making new friends, many deep conversations, and sharing our testimonies to marginal Christians. One lady said that, "if this is Christianity, I want to be a part of it." An added bonus was a day-long hike (quite the adventure) to a mountain peek at 7,600 feet. The serenity and just utter beauty of God's creation was on full display. We also had a video/picture contest between groups, where groups had to complete several challenges. For instance, making a film of themselves singing the Romanian National Anthem with people from the village. You can imagine the laughs and fun that was had by all. We really grew as a group from the camp, and learned life lessons, both through study and application. Even the food was great at this camp! Like I said, camps in Romania are special times. Praise God for His work!
