After spending one full day and two half days in Vienna we have finally arrived at the camp. The feel is very different this year with many different teenagers here. Our team has absolutely hit the ground running! Kyle, Lauren and Julia ran our “ice-breaker” session today and it was hysterical and we left knowing every campers name! This years start has far exceeded my expectations, as has this team the Lord has assembled. We are humbled by how quickly these teenagers have taken to us, and I’m personally humbled by watching our high school students jump straight into the lives of the Austrians with no questions asked. I’m proud to serve along side the other 15 Americans on this team, but I’m equally as proud to serve along side the Austrian team. God has assembled an amazing group of Austrian leaders and the unity we already share with them is irreplaceable during this week.
We are again faced with a decision of how to daily present the Gospel to the unbelievers here as well as equip the believers. It’s hard to do this during the same teaching session, though I am more convinced that the most life change will not happen during those times, but during the times that we share our lives with the Austrian teenagers. Please pray that God might save some and pray that true discipleship would happen through us here.
