A few weeks ago we rallied 7 of our high school teens and headed to to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin for our first Young Life camp experience. We joined 400 other Chicagoland high schoolers for a fall retreat called Polar Bear Weekend. As you can see by the pictures, we had a great time. Some of the teens we took, who are new to Sunshine, had some of the blinders fall off and began to hear and experience the gospel. Pray that seeds will continue to be planted in their lives as we invest in them on a daily basis. 
One of my favorite moments was when Devonte, one of our seniors, volunteered to pray at the closing session with our group. Not only did everyone's jaws drop, but he proceeded to go around the circle and pray for each of us individually. God is truly moving.
As we got home another one of the boys asked one of the leaders about summer camp. He was very persistent about knowing about the price. Our leader responded, "Well before your Sunshine scholarship it is around $300 for each of you." Our student said, "Ok. Well then I'm going to get a job now, and save money for my spot. How many other spots for teens do you think that I can save for by then?" Clearly this one young man experienced the amazing things God can do at camp.
