Here We Go

Just one more day to camp!

The 365 Youth Camp 08 blog thus 'expires', after months of posts and writing but the journey starting this Sunday could very well last a lifetime for every one of us. Throughout these months, different committee members have written about their hopes and dreams, their fond memories of the past youth camps, their significant encounters with God. We have all realized there is much to 'take home' from any youth camp, and this Sunday presents another opportunity for a great encounter with God.

This blog has really been the sum of different accounts of people who have had colourful experiences in camps. Your life, like this blog, will be the sum of all the experiences you have gone through in life, displayed for all to see, read, enjoy and learn from. For many of you, this coming camp may bring a 'new post' and a new page, if only we would allow God to write it.

As we pack for these 4 days and 3 nights, let's go remembering 'God is able'. Let's go with expectant hearts and open hands. Let's go ready.

With this, we would like to say goodbye here and a big thank you for being faithful readers in this blog. We will see you in camp :>
