Dominical Surf Camp

February 3rd-5th was the first Campamento de Surfear (Surf Camp) Calvary Chapel Dominical has hosted. CC Dominical has a weekly Monday night study happening in a “more needy” little town called Dominicalitos. Every Monday night they get together for some fellowship in the word, hot dogs, and Wii. It’s a study for the youth of the town, ages range from 8-15. God has been bringing the kids faithfully to the study, so Pastor Mike thought it would be a great idea to do a Surf Camp Retreat for them. It was such a beautiful time to spend studying the word with the kids, who lets just say are not the typical Sunday School Children. It definitely was a stretch in a lot of areas, but God came through so much and showed Himself strong. We were blessed to lead these kids in songs, bible teachings, surfing, boogie boarding, and Christ’s love through action. God definitely already, even at the camp and at this last Monday nights study, is showing fruit. Please keep these kids in prayer. They come from some harsh backgrounds with poverty, bad home environments, and some already having to deal with the stress of going to school and working (pretty much full time). God is so faithful though and as Paul reminds us of, at the end of Romans 8, he is convinced that nothing can separate us from the Love of God. We know that their circumstances might be hard and extreme looking at times, but in truth God is greater than all their circumstances combined; and in His love by His Spirit He can and does change lives. Lord we lift up these kids to You. And as you testified by the kids’ response in wanting to know more about You and wanting to follow You in their lives, I pray that You will continue to work in them to will and to do of Your good pleasure. In Jesus Christ’s name-Amen.
