Surviving - The world or the cold?

- Surviving at camp -

I had the opportunity to invite some of the teen guys for a night of survival at camp last month. Levi, Gijs, and Thomas are young men in the church in Eindhoven and Rotselaar who are great guys that are a hoot. They are typical teenagers full of energy and great questions. We spent the day at camp to find out what their fire building, cooking over a campfire, and survival skills were like. We also had a chance to talk about our faith and how the world can be pretty hostile to faith at times.

Dennis, one of our team mates joined us later in the evening and did a good job entertaining the guys. With temperatures at night around -5 we did our best to stay warm. The guys cooked hot dogs, baked beans, and eggs and bacon were on the menu in the morning. Spending time with these young men is such a blessing. Their parents have done a great job of leading them to become great men. They are still on their journey, and they are honest about the difficulties about being a teenager, and also being a teenager that believes. Please keep these guys in your prayers as they try to survive the world, and try to understand their relationship with the Savior.
