“Give your servant success today by granting him favor with the king.” Neh. 1:11 was the theme of Winter Camp 2019.
We ventured up the mountain to Sugar Pine Christian Camp on Friday night with 19 students and 6 Youth Leaders. This weekend always provides time for us to just be together in community by laughing, playing, and enjoying worshipping God together. We experienced God through powerful worship and reflecting on His Word during cabin times. God revealed his faithfulness to us in tangible ways as we were reminded of his promises. Here are a few reflections from students from the weekend…
