Start of Outreach Camp 5

Outreach Camp 5 just began a few minutes ago. In the first four camps we have seen God do great things. Below are a few quick glimpses of what happened.

Roberto Martinez, area director of La Vega, shared the following: One of the kids who came to camp 2 from his area was an alcoholic, drug user, and thief. He made a commitment to Christ during that camp. Leaving that life behind is not easy, but he has been taking concrete steps toward a better life under the guidance of Vida Joven staff and volunteers in his area.

There was a 22-yr-old that wanted to attend camp from Santo Domingo last week. He had a bad reputation that came from years spent wandering the streets. He needed this. But his boss  wouldn’t give him time off from work. The morning the bus was leaving, he showed up all sweaty from running to where they were leaving from, with the news that he had gotten time off from work and could go. He met Christ at camp, and can't wait to share what he has learned with all the kids in his neighborhood.

 

As camp speaker, Rafa was praying all last week that God would use him, and that God would increase his faith that kids were being impacted. Part of his responsibility is leading the workshop on the last day of camp for those who still have doubts or do not believe. Out of 113 kids & leaders, only 12 kids came to that workshop!
