Baptist Youth... Eat Your Heart Out!

Summer is here, the camp centre has been converted into one giant obstacle course, the cupboards are packed with food, so, this can only mean one thing…..its time for the Baptist Centre Valle Azul Summer camps! It all kicked off with the young adults 18+ camp on Saturday 9th January. It wasn’t long before the place was buzzing with excited ‘campistas’.

The theme of the week was ‘Decisions’. We had the opportunity to learn from two speakers from Lima- Pastor Rino and Santiago. They brought various biblical messages on finding your true identity, relations in your community, relations with friends and choosing Jesus or the world.

The young people also had the chance to take part in lots of fun activities- visiting the beach, the obstacle course (for which Pastor Byres will forever be remembered!), a table quiz with a difference, completing a photo safari, performing on the talent night and taking part in lots of other silly games.

On the final night we had the last of the ‘decisions’ talks, after which a number of non- Christians gave an encouraging response. This was followed by a bonfire and a time of reflection where a number of people give their testimonies. It was great to hear how God has been working in their lives.

Points for Prayer...

- A young guy called Jesús- who made a commitment to Christ. That God would protect him as he begins a new job in the Police and that he would find a church.

-For those who don’t know Christ will have been impacted by what they have heard

-The teenager camp this week-Pastor Filipe (Argentina)

-Teenagers attending the camp

-The leaders maintain enthusiasm after a tiring week

  1. Wow! How encouraging. Will continue to pray for the camps that God will move as his Word is explained. Must get the ladies team in training for the obstacle course at Easter!!
