It has been too long since I’ve updated, I apologize!
I’ll start with the youth camp we lead in New Mexico. How fun!! There were kids ranging from second grade to sixth grade. Wings’ responsibility was to lead the worship and to lead activities; we had such a great time! We learned a whole new set of choreographed songs for this camp that we taught the kids. It was fast-paced, high-energy, and God-honoring, what more could you ask for at a kids camp?
My responsibility in the activity time was to teach the kids about the gospel colors: black is sin that separates us from God, red is the blood of Jesus shed for us, yellow is heaven, white is the purity that comes when we are washed in the blood of Christ, blue is baptism, and green is the growth that we experience after accepting Christ. I had the kids work as a team to cut out of colored felt different things that symbolized each color, then to glue it to a white cardboard cross. I thought it was an awesome way for the kids to really get an understanding of the Gospel.
I built relationships with a number of the girls there. By the end of the week they felt comfortable talking with me about some of the hard things going on in their lives, and I was able to encourage them and pray with them. I will never forget some of these precious kids!
18 kids accepted Christ that week! How awesome!!
