THIS WEEK'S QUESTION: How have
you seen or experienced God working in your ministry areas during a retreat
weekend?
This last weekend (Oct22-24) I was
given the opportunity to act as a cabin counsellor for the juniors retreat at
Camp Qwanoes. I saw God move in so many ways through the juniors and found him
moving in my heart also. I saw kids being impacted to there very core by God. I
saw some even come to believe in God as their personal saviours. I saw my own
cabin kids grow and learn lots about God through his word during chapel and
devotions. I saw them grow personally and I tried my very best to be a positive
impact in their lives. It was through this that I grew to know my campers and
many others.
It was quite amazing that both my
and Evan Klaasen get to lead our group of kids who are all from the area of
Warmland Church. This was so great because we both got to know the kids that we
see on a weekly basis and we got to see how they interact with each other and
their environment. It was such a blessing to be able to teach our campers about
the God we love and follow. Getting to know the kids from around Warmland was
also great because we were able grow closer with them and encourage them to
make it down for Youth nights and church services. It was awesome that God was
able to work in the campers lives through me and the other councillors.
I saw God working in myself during
the retreat this last weekend. Some other councillors and friends mentioned to
me that I was great with the kids and working at camp with kids again felt
great and encouraged me greatly towards my goal and calling of working in children’s
or youth ministry in the near future.
