Youth Summer Camp

A few months ago God gave our youth leaders a dream-- to host a summer camp that would include all of the youth in our 6 branch churches. This was quite a big endeavor since the total number of youth is about 100. We had never held camp for that many people before but were excited to see our leaders take charge and start the planning.

On July 29-31 107 youth set out to a beautiful camp site in Zulzag, about an hour drive on dirt roads from Darkhan. We were blessed with beautiful weather and were able to baptize 14 new believers in the nearby river.

Here, Amaa, our head chef from UB Christian Fellowship, counts heads and divides everyone into smaller groups.

There was wrestling...

The World Cup spirit was still in the air!

Our youth leader, Bogi makes milk tea for breakfast.


Beautiful smiles and even more beautiful servant hearts!

Everyone enjoyed the mealtimes and Amaa's cooking!
Our young people returned to their home churches blessed,refreshed and ready to take on the next school year with destiny and purpose. We were encouraged to see the spiritual growth and maturity that has taken place in the churches in such a short time. Most of the people you see in the pictures are active cell members and leaders. They don't have much in the way of posessions but they have given their all for God's Kingdom. What an honor to serve alongside these wonderful people!
