Young Leaders Camp 2011 - Part 4

Unforgettable view.


Saying goodbye to Koh Larn.

Taxi!  Time to head back to Pattaya.

Another mini-concert on the boat ride back!

One last session back in the Baptist Camp.  Seth teaching us that God brought us all here for a reason.

Finishing camp by taking communion together.  We renewed our commitment to one another and now renew our commitment to Christ.

Back home, and what better way to end the weekend than to join together for one last meal at our beloved Athen restaurant!

Young Leaders Camp 2011 - Part 2


After spending Friday night at the Baptist camp in Pattaya, a few hours southeast of Bangkok, we took a forty minute boat ride to Koh Larn, an island where we spent Saturday and Saturday night.  Here, Bat leads the boat in worship songs.  Many people applauded after the Young Leaders sang.


Nut, looking stylish!

The first activity of the day was being taken out to go snorkeling!




Steve-O stepped on a sea urchin.  Imagine stepping on a porcupine in salt water.  He had ten "quills" lodged in his foot.  Ouch!


Bat, trying not to drown.


Getting those sea urchin quills removed from Steve-Os foot.  He is one tough guy!

A HUGE thank you to all who prayed for us as we headed to Young Leaders Camp 2011.  It was a fantastic weekend and I am sure your prayers were a big part of that.  Enjoy the images from the first ANNUAL Young Leaders Camp!

After all the planning and waiting, it is finally time to head to camp!


Bank shares his story on Friday night.


Ike did a wonderful job teaching on our first night.  Ahjan Greg taught the middle three sessions, but we also asked two of our Young Leaders to do some of the teaching at camp and they did SO well!  Ike taught us about how Satan likes to try to attack us and tempt us.


Starting Saturday with prayer.


Thank (pronunced "Tank"), sharing from the Word of God.

 

Now it is Rainny's turn.  Later in the weekend, Rainny would share his story with the group, and it was a powerful, honest testimony.

Ahjan Greg Brown helped start Young Leaders.  He has returned to the states and is now in school, but agreed to return to be our camp speaker.  He shared a strong series of messages about the enemy without and the enemy within that tries to prevent us from being our best for God.
