News from the Ministry 22 April 2012

"Trust in the Lord under all circumstances." That was the theme of the camp of "survival" ...Teamwork and knowledge of how to operate under difficult situations were some of our goals. The 21participants who were able to be a part of this experience remarked at the end of the 24 hours how much they had enjoyed, and how much they had learned. Over the years I have worked with children and adolescents and  I realized that many of them do not know t even the basics of how to move around natural environments. Those of us who were in hte military service or were part of the Boys Scuts groups acquired basic notions that have helped us and have given us discipline in other aspects of life. But many of the youngsters of today do not know how to set up a tent, light a fire, potable water, look for natural food, heal wounds, or build a refuge ... At first I thought our experience would be something peculiar .... the truth is that it was worthy of being repeated. We want to teach our teens how to learn to "trust in the Lord under all circumstances."
