We
turned our church building into the perfect campground for our summer youth
lock-in.
The
youth had a blast- whether throwing water balloons out in the hot sun or
singing songs around the indoor campfire while rain poured outside. They even
made chores fun, as we cooked dinner, set-up tents, and cleaned the church for
service the
following morning!
Later
the rain finally stopped, offering the perfect opportunity to send off floating
lanterns into the dark sky.
During
our Bible study time, Paco taught from Daniel 6, challenging the youth with the
Word to strive to be influential rather than popular.
Three
new youth joined our group for the first time for the event, and were
immediately included into our “family”. One of the new boys even asked the
youth with surprise: “Do you all always get along so well?” I smiled to see our
youth answer without hesitation: “Actually, we do!” Only the Lord can create
such unity and love in a group like this, which is obvious even to outsiders.
Praise
God for His blessing over these youth and work in their lives.
