We had the amazing chance to work with the youth camp called "deeper" for the first week of our outreach.
Honestly going into this week I was not very excited, I think it was a bit of a spiritual attack but also I think I just felt the weight of the week. We were going to be speaking on Mark, and the whole point of the week was to go deeper with God, so I just wanted to give it all I had but I didn't feel good enough at all.
This all changed right away - it was truly one of the best weeks I have had since being here! So fun, we had some of the best kids come out (some also very challenging) but we had a ton of time to hang out and get to know these kids! Each day had epic activities like mud slides (more like a long plastic slide), horse riding, and a few other ones like waterfall adventures. Those were all great but also everyday the BCC (my little school) had the chance to speak everyday which was really good, and I believe that it brought some pretty big break through which is always amazing.
Our cabins only had three girls in each (the camp all together only had 14 kids) so I was able to build some amazing relationships with the girls in my cabin but also all the kids because it was so small. Man it was just such an amazing time, I honestly miss it so much!
We laid out the camp in away that the speaking/God side to it was a build up, for the last night where we give time letters that their family and friends write them to encourage them and build them up - so amazing to see! It is a beautiful sight to be able to see God moving and working in the lives of the youth.
Even though I came back beyond tired and with a cold it was really refreshing being in creation and see God work. I will add pictures so that you can see where we were, it was so flipping beautiful :)
