Last month our high school students attended their very first Young Life Camp: Timberwolf Lake in upper Michigan. My co-leader CW and I took 7 of our teens to experience what Young Life calls "The greatest week of your life." For most of our kids that standard rang true.
From high ropes courses to tubbing, go carts to zip-lining, blobbing to county fairs, blacklight parties... ok let me stop because I cannot begin to list all of the fun things our kids were able to experience. Needless to say not only was it one of the greatest weeks of their lives, but seeing their joy and excitement made it one to go down in the records for me also. Though our 7 kids had already been exposed to the gospel, the Word came alive to them in new ways. Pray for their commitments made at camp as the summer ends and the school year rolls around. That is where the true discipleship takes place.
Though we only were able to take a handful of 7 kids this year, we're already dreaming up big numbers for summer 2013. Pray that our high school group continues to grow, especially with the leadership of these 7. We started a year and a half ago with 3 kids, and hit over 20 this spring. Though its not about numbers, the more heads in the doors, the more ears hear the gospel. I thank you in advance for your prayers for our Young Life crew!
