March Break Kids Camp was pretty sick...unexpectedly became a last-minute hype-man for Camp David but I enjoyed it. Almost 30+ kids came from each three camps, a missions team was present and several StreetLeaders and surprising volunteers...such an exciting time!
I also enjoyed hyping up the leaders which hyped up the kids and that of course made the camp so enjoyable. By the way...greatest picture of March Break Kids Camp below:
There were some surprising StreetLeaders who used to by my YMAD youth and a few of our past workers from Camp Freedom surprised us and helped us out for the whole week. I was very impressed at how some of our leaders really stepped up, excelled in WordUP and also leading praise & worship while getting the other leaders to enjoy it which in turn had all the kids from different communities bond together worshiping the same one and only true God.
The interns and missions team did such a great job, I was very proud of them and very blessed as I'm sure the whole team were. It was so great to see our Camp Freedom snack donors pitch in for a few things for all three camps during that week as they followed up, followed through and had great fellowship with Camp David.
(Also, my boy Curtis aka 'Shyne' came back from his first ever missions trip...I've been letting him settle back in to Canada but I still have to follow up with him. I love that guy for real, most definitely looking forward to how God will work in his life.)
After the kids camp though, I stayed over at this church called Hallelujah Fellowship Baptist Church for their March Break weekend youth retreat! I actually ended up working the whole time on the sermon. It was on John 15, 'The Vine and the Branches', sharing what God had taught me to preach to them...about how we (sharing also UrbanPromise Toronto) should remain in Jesus and in His love. I wanted to work a little more on this sermon because I would love to continue sharing this passage while sharing about UrbanPromise Toronto for future and different speaking engagements. The church had a missions month warming up to the MissionFest Toronto this weekend...by the way, getting to hang out with Pastor/Kuya Mike and John Fuller from OMF was such a blessing.
The whole thing went a lot better than I thought, nervous but excited...excited to see God work in and through all of it. It was great...my parents were there, lots of love and support, visits to my booth downstairs, and future interests. I'll try and get an audio of the sermon and probably a picture of the actual event if I can but regardless...God's support, love and faith in me was so evident.
Thanks to all of you as well for all your continued prayers and support!
