Training Camp
Every spring we hold a camp to train volunteer leaders and
staff how to be more effective in ministry. More than 200 students participated
in the training this year – our biggest training camp yet. It was a great
event, and set the stage for more teenagers to hear the Gospel through these
leaders. Powerful things happened during this time. Not only was it a great
time of learning how to better minister to adolescents, but it also deeply
impacted the lives of many participants.
We are very thankful for those who
came to teach classes or support in other ways, especially those who came from
other countries to help. Chris Walker, Susan Finck-Lockhart, and Nancy Henkes
from Presbyterian Reformed Ministries, International came to teach and also
minister through prayer. Scott Miedema, YL’s director of training for Latin
America, came to teach in addition to leading a staff training time after the
main training camp. Matt DeHoog brought a group from Grand Rapids, MI to serve
as our work crew for the event. While we had 234 people (including work crew
and assigned team) crammed into a camp with lodging for 170, it was a fantastic
event that left Vida Joven Dominicana well prepared to do great things this
year with adolescents.
