Our theme this year for camp was Jovenes Conectados or Connected Youth in English. It doesn’t sound very cool in English but it was very effective in Spanish. Mike was the speaker for the second week of 12-14 year old teens. We divided the campers in to four teams – Twitter, Yahoo, Google, and Facebook – for game time and small group counsel time.
In the first two camps of teenagers we had 152 campers. We saw 9 teens accept the Lord as Savior (two of those I was privileged to lead) and over 40 other decisions were made. Our church in Junín sent 8 campers to these camps and many of them made personal decisions for the Lord.
Now we have the last camp to go. The hardest one of all. The most numerous camp of 8-11 year olds. It is a lot of work and the noise level triples!! It’s probably the most fun camp because children of this age are so tender and loving and don’t have many inhibitions. They play their hearts out and are very open to listen to God’s Word.
awesome to see God work in the young people's hearts!! we are praying! Camp to us is even extra special cuz that where Dario and I met. ;)

Even though I didn't go this year, I think it was one of the best themes ever. Our teens were truly impressed and challenged to stay connected with God and His Word! Thanks, Mike and Sandy for all your efforts and may God be glorified in the lives of these teens and children who attended and made decisions for Him! Diane Courts
