Orphan Youth Camp 2011

With the Lord's perfect timing and setup, we were able to put together a youth camp this year. Mandy had been corresponding with people from True Love Waits and has been praying for a presentation for the youth in our orphan program. We were so excited that two young ladies who have been trained to do youth seminars and followup Bible studies came to Malawi. It was such a privilege that we could have them at our youth retreat.
Kelley Barrow and Emily Douglas are from South Carolina and have been studying at the University of South Carolina. They are spending their summer in Malawi teaching True Love Waits and have become very busy walking through the doors the Lord has been opening for them.




The illustrations and interactions were very applicable for the Malawian youth. They loved the participation. The sessions really helped them to think not only about their decision to commit to purity and abstinence, but also with their commitment to Jesus.







The camp included an overnight stay and the kids stayed up most of the night singing and talking. Even after the long night, the youth were so attentive to the teaching on love, sex and marriage.







Andy was the "Game Guy" and there were some really hilarious and fun games.

The youth were strongly urged not to take the commitment lightly and to
seriously think about their decision. Of 35 youth, 17 signed commitment cards. The rest of the kids may decide to sign the commitment cards after they attend the follow-up Bible studies for the next 10 weeks.

What an awesome work of God!
