The youth from Grace Community Church are doing AWESOME. They are having a great time and have adjusted very well. Within the first 24 hours there were obstacles to overcome; cultural and language barriers as well as adjusting to the time change and cooler temperatures. I was chatting with Stacy this morning and she said the counselors and assistant counselors are working hard, and enjoying the challenges. They are up early in the morning, assisting all day with activities, walking alongside all of the campers, motivating their tribes, working towards different rewards throughout the day and continuing to build long lasting relationships. There has been a lot of laughter among these young adults.
The groups have also been worshiping every night together, followed by a testimony from a counselor, and a short message, looking deeper into scripture. Once that is complete the youth have time with their tribes to follow up with any questions and then the counselors are already preparing for another day. From our perspective, it looks awesome, everyone should be so proud of our youth from back home...I am sure they have many stories to share.
During the day there are many activities going on all over J-life, the picture is just a snapshot of the youth enjoying all of these different activities this afternoon.
