Youth camp is like no other. I remember how impactful it was when I was a teenager and to go back and serve all these years later did not disappoint. Albeit a different experience than when I was a teenager, I believe the Lord loves the opportunity to move in mighty ways at these types of events. While I didn’t miss camp food all these years, I did miss the excitement and anticipation of the teens. Kids this age are searching and I’m so glad I serve the God who is always ready to receive their enthusiasm, no matter age or maturity level. I had the distinct honor to pray with a boy on Wednesday night who confessed he needed a savior and desired salvation. How incredible we get to partner with the creator of the universe to introduce people to Him! Gah, what an incredible experience of which I will never get tired. I also developed a renewed sense of gratitude for our youth ministers and those who prepare to put on camps like this. What an endeavor that they work tirelessly in preparation for; then go full steam and the entire week. I was tired just watching them! To sum up last week, I was overwhelmed by the power of the Spirit and would love the opportunity to go back and serve again! Now, on to the last week of my sabbatical. 😔 Although I am excited to get back to work and see what all I’ve missed, I’ve found a great grove of relaxation this month.
