Children & Community

God has shown me that no matter what happened to me and no matter how many times I turn away from him he will still love me. God has shown me that he will still be with me in the good and bad times and that I never have to go through anything alone, because he is always there to help.

This week has gone by so fast and I had so much fun I can’t believe it. The night with God , Dan leading us, it was so moving and I was even crying, I felt like I was letting go of everything. I feel like me and God gotten way stronger found then we used to . Thank you leaders for this week I feel now me and God are going to be together forever.

I learnt that when God has a plan he chooses someone, we have doubts and we don’t know why God chooses us. We ask questions like Why me? I’m not the best? I’ve sinned so much and yet you choose me, I’m not worthy. Pray that you get courage and strength to God so that his will, will be done. I’ve also learnt that God is telling me to help Syrian children, the ones who are being caught between the war. I like the way God told Ella to put on her seat belt. I’ve really enjoyed the week. I will try to be a servant of God. Pray that I find a way to set up something for the kids.

Had so much fun at camp. I have made so many new friends and gotten to know my old friends even more. I hope to come again soon.

God spoke to me at the night of praise and in bed.  Now I feel so much closer to God and that he did all the activities with me this week. Would love to come again.

I had lots of fun here with all my friends and I hope I can come again soon. I got closer with my friends and I got to know them better.

This was one of the best weeks of my life. I feel like I really got closer to God and to hear amazing miracles that happened the people I actually know, it’s amazing! I made amazing friends and this camp makes me want to pray every day and go to church. It really was unreal.

I had so much fun at camp, I am so amazed at God and his power and for the first time I felt his presence. It’s a wonderful feeling and I hope to do it all again next year. I learnt about leadership too. Camp was super, really good. Thank you Claire for opening my heart to God.

I let God into my life two years ago at CSSM. I felt like he only showed himself once or twice. Maybe I didn’t notice or something. But at the night of the silent prayers, I felt this unknown presence. I don’t think God was speaking to me but I could feel he was there reminding me that he’s always there trying to speak. I decided to listen to the songs more closely and I began to cry. I still don’t know what for! But I definitely will be more aware next time.

The Lord is my strength and my defence, He has become my Salvation. Ex 15:2a

This week at camp, when I arrived I knew that God was here but I never understood it, and I had questions that needed to be answered. My question throughout Laura’s talks was answered. It wasn’t the answer that I was looking for but now I understand why. During the SoulDown God spoke to me, about loads of stuff, but God’s hand I found was always on my shoulder. I felt God speaking through all of the leaders too. I really loved this week at camp, I know a lot more than I did now.

I felt that God was there on Thursday when we thought about how someone so powerful would humble themselves enough, Jesus washed their feet and also died for us in such a painful way but he followed God’s plan and he defeated death.

How I feel about camp. Fun. I felt like it really related to my life and it made me feel so grateful. I had a couple of verses pop into my head which I will learn. I also realised how little of my life I control. I got a reality check. I especially enjoyed the prayer time on Wednesday and small group and activities e.g. Capture the Flag and Mission Impossible.

I learnt that God made Eve out of Adam’s rib! Also when a leader was speaking about how God made the stars and the sunsets and mountains and the most beautiful things everywhere, it really awakened me about how amazing God really is.

Had loads of fun and they made the Bible stories very interesting.  I made new friends and I really enjoyed that.  The leaders are very nice. The leaders helped me to get to God.  The Bible things we did made me enjoy Jesus more. Really want to come back I love Ovoca Manor.

During the week me and Rory prayed over Reuben’s foot, he had hurt it and a bit after that he started running.

This week was one of the best weeks ever. All the leaders were so much fun and really nice to everyone. I have learned to love God even more. I have also made new friends. Laura’s teaching touched me and Claire’s group was so nice to be in. I would love to come again. I would do it again 50 times over.

After this week I found out that God is with me where ever I go and even though other people are suffering so much he still has time for me. I could see God shinning through different leaders and it’s so comforting to know God is here. Thank you for everything.

On the night of worship, I didn’t hear the Lord but I felt him, I knew he was there. I wish we had more nights like I really enjoyed the Story’s of Moses, Esther and the Easter Story, altogether I loved the Manor.

I had great fun at camp. The activities were really fun, the leaders were kind and helpful and I felt close to the Lord. Thank you for a great Easter Camp.

I found God speaking through two leaders who answered my question from the question box. Both of the leaders have a connection with me in a certain way, old neighbours and family friends.

I was praying during worship night for a certain song to come on when I was finished praying it was the next song to come on. That night I hurt my neck and I prayed to God to make it better and with in a few minutes I felt better and the same thing happened the next day!  I have had doubts about God’s existence but When I heard stories about God and my prayers being answered I felt closer than ever.

God helped me when I was praying and when I wanted an answer he answered. God helped me make new friends speaking through me and pushing aside my shyness.

God helped me make new friends. God helped me have such a great time. God helped me to learn about him and his word. God helped me have a better friendship with him. God helped me have fun.

God, gave me an amazing week I will pray more and go to church to come closer to God.

God has brought me closer to him this past week. God has made sure that we had an amazing time. God has shown me that through all hard times and struggles he is always by my side and he loves me. During worship God proved to us that he is there listening to us. Naomi was praying with us in our small group I could feel God’s presence. God has blessed us with all the amazing leaders at this camp. Naomi for being an amazing small-group leader.

Had a lot of fun at camp and went by so quickly. I loved all the talks about God and I learned a lot about leading by example. I enjoyed praying with everyone and I had such a great weekend. I hope to come again.
