N BOHEMIA ENGLISH CAMP Aug 6-13, 2011

This year's English Camp included many new and younger teens, many of whom had little knowledge about Jesus. It was a fantastic outreach. These teens grew up in a post-communist society and they were much freer to hear and ask questions about Christianity than groups in the past. The evening meetings were followed by small discussion groups and the Holy Spirit often changed the planned topic to go into depth to answer their questions. I often heard leaders say, "I didn't plan to say that, but ...", throughout the week (even Ken and I).

There were 40 Czech teens, 10 American teens, and 12 leaders. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Each day had a theme with a different leader/team responsible for the day. It worked out well, no one felt overwhelmed. Being an English Camp, we had English for a few hours everyday which Linda planned and prepared ahead of time. We divided almost evenly into 4 groups, each at a different level of ability.

Following are some photos of our time together.
