But how else would you describe a week where deep relationships are forged in the midst of mind-boggling fun and where you experience and listen to what we believe is the greatest love story ever told? Everything is kept a secret from kids, they are not allowed any electronics and some leaders will not even let them wear watches.
They have no idea what they will be doing next and everything is a surprise. Our high school friends get to spend a week a way from all the distractions of life and just be kids. They have no worries. I feel so blessed to have been given the oppurtunity to watch all my high school friends transform as the week has gone on. Words truly can not describe the transformations that happen during that week at camp.
A Time to Question, Learn and Grow — Campaigners Campaigners is a weekly meeting for our high school friends who wish to learn more or grow in their faith through study, service and leadership. Young Life leaders also encourage these kids to celebrate their faith through participation in a local congregation. Some of our high school friends get uncomfortable when we say Bible study for various reason, so that is why Young Life calls it Campaigners.
For the campaigners group I lead every year we come up with a name to call it instead of just "Campaigners". Many of us are spent when we get back […]. Well, I have a new one called Wyld Questions. I recently had a WL leader contact me who said that the next day they were going to pull together a campaigners after just getting back from WL camp.
They were in a pinch and needed some direction. This is what I wrote. A few weeks ago I shared how we are going through the Gospel of Luke, and hopefully Acts as well, this year in our club. As you may know, we […]. In our club we start campaigners before we start club. This camp story was written and shared by Mady Riedlinger. Something incredibly special happens every time I Read more….
What are we campaigning for? I want to share some pointers that have helped us improve this time spent with students: Know your students and their hearts. We as leaders need to be praying for our students and for God to reveal what they need because each group of kids is unique. Collaborate with the other leaders and students. Listen to each other, take suggestions, bounce ideas off one another to help each other see and understand the Gospel. Both large group and small group time is important.
The large group allows for community building and sharing. The small group allows for intimate conversations and less pressure when discussing scripture, text or a testimony. Grow and keep discovering. Challenge the students to grow and want to keep discovering more about Christ and how we can all lead a more Christ-like life with one another. Allow time to reflect, pray and be still with God.
Whether that is listening to a worship song, journaling or time spent in prayer. We often forget to take the time to stop and be still and planning for this can show the students just how important it is to have this time with God. Related Posts.
