Dear Thank you again for your generous offer for my trip to Cleveland a couple of weeks ago. Not only did the money I received pay for my dad and I, but we also had enough extra money to pay for another person to go! The theme of the camp was “Set Apart”. Speaking for both me and my dad, it was a blast! I know that my favorite part of the trip was the worship sessions that we had in the mornings and evenings. The band, Unhindered, was absolutely amazing. My favorite song was called “I Am Not The Same” which was all about being a different person after you accept Christ into your life. The speaker, Jason Hayes, was also really good. We talked about responding to God’s call, our new identity after being saved, that we may still fall into …show more content…
A Child Advocacy Center is where sexually abused children and their families can go to so the child can be interviewed, meet with family specialists, have a nurse examine the child, and get counseling or therapy, without the family having to pay a penny. The workers at the center were extremely grateful for our work. A hallway, the waiting room, two family rooms, the examination room, three offices, the conference room, the outside doors, the outside walls, and window sills all around the building were painted in three days. We also fixed minor things such as holes in the wood and in the walls. The nurse at the CAC told one of our adult leaders that she told her 17 year old son about what we were doing and that we chose missions over recreation, the other camp option. He was very confused about why we would do that but said that it was really cool. I thought that was really amazing because we ministered to someone who wasn’t even there at all because we impacted his …show more content…
He was originally from Kenya and had never been to school or heard of Jesus. He had came up on a church with his mom once when the pastor’s wife wanted to help them out because they were living in extreme poverty. She started to sponsor Gibson and he was able to begin an education and move to the United States for college and she still sponsors him through college. After him sharing his testimony, they had an opportunity for us to sponsor children all over the world living in poverty through Compassion International. We are already sponsoring a child, Amos, who lives in Africa, but hearing Gibson’s story made me realize how much of an impact we really make on him. The people sitting in front of us were from Arkansas, so we didn not know them until that night. However, when the girls in front of my friend, Alex, came and sat down with a sponsor packet. I saw Alex give the girl a $20 bill for her child. That really hit me because I had $20 and I spent it on snow cones when I could have done something like that and impacted a child’s life. When I shared that in our family group later that night, Alex said he did it because he didn’t have enough money to sponsor a child himself, he thought that doing that would still give him a way to support a child in his or her
I believe that I should be one of the few that gets to sit in a chair. Considering the fact that there will be multiple students writing this to you, I hope to persuade you into thinking that I should be able to sit in a chair.
E: Mary, Queen of Scots, has been found guilty of plotting to usurp Her Majesty the Queen and has been sentenced to death. … I suppose it was only a matter of time. In all the nineteen years she’s been imprisoned, she never once relented on the opinion that she should be Queen. I had hoped she wouldn’t have stooped as low as to actually attempt to overthrow me though. What did she think would happen were she to ascend the throne anyhow? That the public would welcome her with open arms? They have not forgotten the bloody persecution she wielded against them. The Catholic Church may prefer her as ruler, but my Church would not stand for her injustice. … Even though she desires to see me disposed, I do not wish her dead. Despite our differences
Going away to camp, for most people, is a good experience. There people would interact with friends and play games. Going away to camp is all around a fun past time. Most people saw camp was a vacation, to get away from work or school or just reality all together. There are different types of camp. Rocking out with Mitchie ( Demi Lovato ) and Joe (Joe Jonas ) at Camp Rock in the movie Camp Rock to working on health and fitness with Rachel and Taylor in the movie Fat Camp and then there is Sugar Camp. Sugar Camp was the complete opposite of the first thing that comes to mind, when the word “Camp” is heard or thought of. From a small cottage to a camp of sixty cabins, Sugar Camp has managed to get through a training program, go through a world war, and become part of Dayton’s history. It all started with a man by the name of John Patterson.
The Zeeryp boys have been invited to expand their knowledge of the art that is sharing the gospel. Trevor and Ethan have been invited to a youth missions trip in Chicago, Illinois with the youth group of Eastport Baptist Church ( our youth group). While we are serving we would participate in building projects for handicapped youth and attending seminars to learn how to properly share the gospel in street evangelism. With a follow up days to practice on the streets of Chicago. We look forward to gathering skills to not only use in our family’s ministry at camp but also in our day to day communes with our peers. The main obstacle that stands in the way is getting there. It cost just over three hundred dollars
The United States should be the strongest country in the world. We, the Virginians and all other neighboring states should stand together to make it the best country, where people have dignity and freedom. In order to make our country better, we have to have a different way of ruling the country, we should have a stronger central government, where wise, politically educated, and experienced candidates are in our government, rather than average citizens make major decisions. Men are ambitious, “men are not angels”, as James Madison said. We, the founding fathers think realistically, not idealistically. If only one man from each state represented the states, the rate of making the wrong decision is way higher. Having a different type of government will allow you, the citizens and the government make the decisions for the country to enhance the rules and overall
I think that Mr. Hoo is the murderer because he has a lot reason to want and kill Sam Westing, not only did Mr. Westing steal invention but he only gave him 25,000 dollars for it. Mr. Hoo thinks that Mr. Westing cheated him.
I went to a private college called Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska. Where I did my four years of Undergraduate for Religion with a minor in youth ministry. Going to Union College led me to want to know more about people and the school provided us opportunities to work at different summer camp, I decided to go to Glacier View Ranch in Ward, Colorado. The job requirements were for the counselor to take care of 8 girls from ages 7 to 18. A normal day consisted of taking them to their activities, having a blast and helping them understand that we need to respect and care for each other. Every week a new different group of girls would come in and it would be a different situation with each group for example in one week it could be most of their
It was back in the summer of 2004 when all was calm. The trees filled w/ dry green leaves, the grass barely green as patches of yellowness overcame its dried burned look, dandelions arose in monstrous amounts as the white cotton-like blooms of a dandelion flutter in the midst of an arid breeze, and visions of heat waves could clearly be noticed along a paved street on a clear afternoon. Yep, this truly was mid summer. But I do prefer summer over winter any day of the year. Around the hottest time of the year, a.k.a. middle of July, my church travels on a mission trip over to the Appalachia Mountains to help people in poverty rebuild their homes. I, among 14 other youths and leaders enjoy this yearly mission trip. Only to leave one week after my birthday the ASP (Appalachia Service Project) crew fled the town of Glen Ellyn and headed east towards the mountainous Appalachia Mountains. The mission had not only been to help people in distress but to also give an insight on personal faith, life, love, friendship, and a better understanding on why we are really here and why we have chosen to come here, as certain personality traits that we possess are revealed throughout the trip. I do remember last year's trip very clearly, and we've had just a few major dilemmas, but this year just clearly out does last year in every way, shape and form.
I am writing on behalf of Napoleon to nominate him as a worthy recipient of the, Dog Of The Year award. I feel that Napoleon truly exemplifies what it means to be the bravest dog. Napoleon consistently shows acts of bravery, perseverance, and his service to others. I believe that once you read this letter, you will agree with me that Napoleon deserves the medal.

...lowing me to have first hand experience with young children, and also to see the teaching process from the teacher perspective as well as the student perspective (I at one time attended the very same camp). I greatly enjoyed this experience, and I am forever thankful to the Batavia Basketball Program, who allowed me to do this service for the kids.
He simply looked at me and said that he loved serving the kids because they are the unfortunate ones. I have learned what it means to serve and what it means to be content and trust God. I have learned what it means to be grateful, even through the hard times. My relationship with God has really improved since my experience in Tecate, and I will be forever grateful for that door that God opened in my life. Over the trip, I had the pleasure of living among and working with the men and women of the orphanage.
I have always grown up in a Pentecostal church since I born so I knew roughly how everything worked. My parents are very involved in church from being youth pastors to church board members so I grew up beyond blessed. Every year, they would send me to youth camp along with other teens in our church, in which I absolutely loved to go. I learned so much during the weeks I was there and it really taught me how I wanted to live for Christ and how I wanted others to see who I really was. While it was still hard for me to bear with the fact that I knew I had a calling on my life, but I didn’t know when, where, why and how it would all conspire and happen at that moment. But, a year ago youth camp changed everything for
I had the opportunity to do my field experience during vacation bible school at my church. Each year, my church host a vacation Bible school for children and adults of all ages. This year’s theme was “Shining Stars”. I was selected to co-teach the younger elementary class that consisted of students from the ages of seven and eight. The majority of the students had completed their first year of second grade and was being promoted to the third. The course of our vacation Bible school included different lessons for four nights.
