HONG KONG Camp Go -->

I was in HK for about a week (June 27-July3) putting on church camp for youth from International Baptist Church from HK, along with 7 other DBU students/staff, and these are some of the experiences from the camp.

the cabins...
They were different then american ones for sure...the beds were different, and the bathroom shared the same area as the shower. It was interesting but still fun for sure.

I shared a cabin with my co, Carole Covey, and with 5 other beautiful Jr. High age girls.
Joyce-14
Rachel-14
Catherine-14
Natalie-12
Akari-13

We had a fun cabin and a lot of nights when the girls would giggle and sleep in the same bed. :)

The NOOZ
We had a skit segment that I was in charge of called Hik-Nooz. I got the idea from another camp I was at the week before, but basically me, Ben and Luke dressed up as Hicks and gave the daily news. The news were pieces the kids wrote and posted on our wall. Along with the news we had couple of the day. The couple of the day would wear matching inflatable tire tubes, and hold barbie or ken to remind them of their love for eachother throughout the day.

The Service
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Romans 10: 14-15
The theme for the week was GO, and our theme verse came from Romans. We talked about the importance of not just having a relationship with Christ but sharing His love and life with people all over the world.
Jon Dooley brought the message every night to camp, and I can't even begin to tell you how great of a job he did. The Lord really worked in him and through him, in order to bring messages that not only tought me a lot, but convicted me and challanged my faith.

Breakdown
Everyday we had breakdown sessions where we as a staff would teach different segments to the kids. I tought Duct Tape Art the first day, where I just sat down with 8 of the campers and we made wallets out of duct tape. The next day I taught a segment on Purtiy and how purity is not a bunch of rules, but a lifestyle we are called to live. I also did some team building exercises one day for our mission teams. (Thanks TbarM!)

Overall
Camp was AMAZING. The food was interesting at times, but the Lord clearly worked and moved. It was a great experience to see how God is the same in Texas as He is in Hong Kong, and He is impacting lives the same way he is here. I was so encouraged by the Kids at camp and the way they believe and trust in the Lord. They had knowledge way beyond their years and a passion for Christ that was undeniable. The had a faith that they lived out and each of them at such a young age!! I was so impressed and encouraged and I can't wait to see what God does next in the lives of these amazing students!!!!!
