I am having a wonderful time at New Life Youth Camp watching both the campers and our incredible youth! I have been amazed at the enthusiasm and excitement by the young campers, especially when you consider the temperatures are in the 100's. They are so happy to be here experiencing opportunities they might otherwise never get to see or do. Some of these kids have never been fishing or seen a horse up close. For many of these kids, this may be the only opportunity to enjoy doing something fun for themselves over the Summer. A lot of these young kids work very hard babysitting smaller children at home.
We get to help the children work on a memory verse each day, and the children are so eager to see and learn the memory verse. When we break down each memory verse and help them understand what it means, you can see in their faces the excitement of understanding God's word. You can truly feel God's presence here at the camp with his children and that has been a powerful experience for us all. It has been a blessing to be able to help do God's work with his precious kids!
We are excited to be able to share our experiences and pictures with you all when we return.
In Christian Love,
Sheryl
