A junior and teen camp in New Zealand inspired young people and resulted in six decisions for baptisms.

Themed “Limitless”, the camp, held from July 7 to 12, 2024, brought together 73 juniors and teens from across the North New Zealand Conference (NNZC).

“This camp aimed to inspire and empower our youth in their spiritual journey, teaching them of God’s limitless power,” said Kelsey Ryan, NNZC associate youth director.

The camp featured a variety of activities designed to challenge and engage the participants, including high ropes courses, a giant swing, and a flying fox.

Spiritual activities, including morning and evening worship programs, were also a focus of the event. The event speakers “reminded us that God is not limited by space, time, matter, or circumstances and that His power and love for us have no limit,” explained Ryan.

According to her, a highlight was the Agape Feast for the teens on the last night, where six campers made the decision for baptism.

During the service, all teens in attendance wrote their prayer requests on paper. “Their private prayers have been placed in a jar in our office, unread, but prayed over daily. Please keep our young people in your prayers,” concluded Ryan.
