I generally hated youth camp when I was a teenager. It was cheesy and really hard to find a place to sneak and catch a smoke. But tomorrow I embark upon the last fortress of my Youth Ministry career. I am taking 8 kids to a holiness camp meetings youth camp. I am also serving as a counselor. As much as a chastise the current evangelical system, I really think youth camp is an important event. Especially for kids that don't have a "church outlet", a comfortable worshiping body, it is important for them to see corporate Christian behavior. I am slowly beginning to really love youth ministry, but to do it with the kids that most churches try to run-off. So after next week, expect at least a post regarding camp...and follow me on twitter (@chaddbrooks) to get updates. This should be a good week, and my prayers are for my kids to grasp the reality of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit this week. I would appreciate your prayers as well.
