It is definitely one of the highlights of the year for the kids and I, a while week living at hope Mountain watching wild activities, eating not so exciting food but seeing young people's minds challenged and their lives changed. It is called Conquest Youth Adventure Camp and this year we ran two along side the Catalyst Youth Leadership Academy.
It is fun, high energy and at times quite messy...especially the flour and water fight at the end. The kids and I run the medic room, treating everything from bee stings, to rope burns to headaches and even suturing a finger this year. But the medic room is best known for the prayer, you see the kids first response to an injury or sickness is prayer.
Funnily enough even though we as parents taught them this, I am
constantly challenged by their pure faith and simple trust. I was listening to a recording I made of Ethan who was explaining a miracle that had just happened in the medic room, he finished the story by stating "and the miracle happened...of course...because God just loves us to bits."

When was the last timeyou thought about God loving you to bits? I encourage you to stop and ponder on that thought for a moment.
