This summer I had the opportunity of a lifetime. I worked at two camps in England, with WyldLife Young Life kids and leaders!

 

Ben Tuel (Charleston, WV) and I did the program together. Ben and I have looked forward to having the chance to do program together for some time and really enjoyed the partnership. Chris Buda (Regional Director for the River Region) was the speaker. Chris is one of the best communicators we have in the mission of Young Life, and kids really connected with him.
 
We started with a WyldLife middle school camp near Kidderminster. Some of the students were from the international school, meaning they are mostly Americans living in England. The rest were as Brittish as Big Ben and Parliament. We had a great week and God did some amazing things in the lives of those children.
 
Our second stop was a week of Young Life camp on the coast in Devon, the South West of England. The scenary was amazing but didn't compare to the week we had with kids. Kids from Hertford came and encountered God in a way they hadn't before. To quote one of my new friends, "I had never heard this before and it really made a difference to see so many people with passion for God."
