Youth Camp Held in Copperbelt Region of Zambia

With a total round trip mileage of some 2,492 km, all attended with one goal—to learn the Word of God and share beautiful moments of love, unity and creation of friendships.  

It was so nice to see campers sharing good times together once more. They heard lessons on Christian living under the theme above. Men from Zambia National Parks also gave daily lectures on bush craft and survival methods. Two men who traveled up from Lusaka gave a presentation on venomous and non-venomous snakes, which was enhanced by the presence of live snakes. Boat rides on the mighty Zambezi River and seeing the highest mountains in Zambia and Zimbabwe were two highlights, in addition to the games and other activities during this one-week program. 

 At the end of camp, awards were given to deserving campers under the categories of Best Campers, Campers Choice, Most Disciplined and Most Helpful.  

This year’s camp was a special and unique camp as youths traveled long distances to explore the country and see many wild animals, such as hippos, elephants (which were seen approaching the camp and also on nature walks), crocodiles, hares and baboons, just to name a few.  

The main speakers were Derrick Pringle, Fillius Jere and Rodrick Epomba. We also had other camp staff members that helped with time-keeping, sports and many other activities. All of these people worked hard to see to it that camp was perfect and joyful. 

 Our endless and joyous appreciation goes to our Creator in heaven for making everything possible. To all those who took time to pray for us while in camp and those who supported us financially and in any other way, God bless you.
