If Anyone Has Ears to Hear, Let Him Hear

The theme for youth camp this year was "in loco parentis", which means in place of parent. Camp doesn't replace the parents, but supports the parents. Foundational to everything we do is the Word of God. Everything is done within the bounds of God's Word. Why put all the effort into this way of life? Because it works. We are living for the Kingdom of God. Will we have ears to hear the warning?
