We just returned from youth camp a few days ago and had an awesome time!!! We went up to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, about a 4 hour drive from Singapore. We flew in Pastors Jude and Becky Fouquier from the City Church in Seattle, Washington. Pastor Jude came for our camp about 2 years ago so the youth were very excited to have him back. We had over 350 young people with us for the week. The week was filled with games, services, hanging out times, and bonding with friends and leaders. It was an amazing week. In the above photo you can see our family of 4 in the second row from the front, in the middle...the rest are all of our wonderful youth!!!
One of the days we went to a big field and did some crazy games. As you can see from the pictures, they all had a great time getting dirty and just having some plain fun.
We had 2 services each day and God really did a work in all of them in each person's heart. It's amazing to see the young people touch God and truly desire to be changed by him. I was so blessed just to see this happen. Camp is a great time for us leaders to be able to really connect and bond with the youth as well and this happened on many occations during the camp. Pastor Jude brought the Word so strongly as well as entertained us all with his stories. It was a great week and we were all built up and very excited to see what God has in store for each of us individually as well as for us all together.
During one of the services, we split the cell group leaders from the members and Pastor Jude spoke to the cell leaders, over 100 of them, while Pastor Becky spoke to the members. At the end of the service with the members, we asked for those that were wanting to become cell leaders, to stand and come forward, the numbers that came forward was amazing. I'm guessing at least 100 of them went forward. It was amazing to see that God had done such a work in their hearts and now they were ready to serve Him. Our God is amazing and He has done a great work in our lives.
