Summer Youth Camp 2013

Youth Camp is here! Unloading the tricycles

Something cool about camp here is that people donate veggies

Friends

How would you like to find this during your quiet time?
Everyone washes their own dishes

Adobong Sitaw and Rice for dinner

We are praying for God to move in this generation of Filipinos

Small groups

Eggs, Tomatoes, and Rice for breakfast

Upo cooking over open fire
The sweetest cooks

Funny games

Filipinos will do anything to shield themselves from the sun!

Local ice cream man came by everyday
Praying over campers

Praise God He speaks all languages..my Tagalog is still growing

Hotdog, Eggs, Eggplant, and more Rice for breakfast!

Song about the children of God

Throwing balls at campers for fun :)

We introduced them to the wheelbarrow race!

Josh did an AWESOME job speaking

Morning exercise

Each team had their own cheer
Each team made a flag to represent themselves

They decorated their tables for banquet night. Creative!

We were blessed to wash campers' feet on the last day

"How beautiful are the feet of those that preach Good News!"

The whole gang
We hope to be a part of discipling a few new believers

We spent last week at Lorentess Resort near our home hosting almost 70 high school age campers for 5 days.  Our roles were mainly to assist our friends who were leading the camp. We helped with whatever they needed and Josh was deemed official photographer so we have lots of pictures! You'll notice some things are very similar to youth camps in the States and some things are quite different (washing your own dishes at the water pump for instance). Nonetheless, we enjoyed the week. I personally felt like it was a small spiritual retreat as I was able to spend a lot of time in the Word and prayer early in the mornings while things were quiet. Thank you to those of you who were praying for this week.
