Every year we send a group of teens from our church plants to summer camp.  This is a great opportunity for them to get out of the slum & spend time with other youth.  For a week they get to be in a safe place and not have to worry about gangs, drug traffickers, hunger, and the many other hardships they face daily.

                In order to attend camp we require that the kids pass the school year.  In addition, they must save $3.00 a month all year, which is a huge contribution for them.  This year we have 23 youth that have met these requirements.  They have been collecting recyclables and selling crafts to raise money.  Even with this savings they fall short of the funds needed.  To supplement their efforts a sponsorship of $50 is needed for each teen to attend camp. 

                   These young people are the future leaders of our church plants.  Many of them are already serving in worship ministry and also help to teach younger children.  Therefore, camp is an investment in the discipleship of future church leaders and will help us to build strong churches.  Will you bless one of them and help to equip them for future ministry?
