Hey everyone! Well we're at day 6 of our Trinidad adventure! It has been truly amazing spending time with the Port of Spain Church! After a full weekend (singles devo, parenting workshop, church, Maracas Beach) we had our first full day at Teen Camp today. Our theme for Teen Camp is 'Freedom,'a very relevant and impacting topic, indeed. In the morning Jeff preached a powerful lesson which helped us focus on how Jesus is the only one that can set us free the shackles of insecurity, greed, and the desire to fit in with the world. Afterward, Kristi and J.I. shared vulnerably from their lives about how having a relationship with our Creator has spared them from the talons of depression, imprisonment and even death! I could tell by looking at the teens' faces that many of their hearts were stirred. We had some time to divide the teens into five teams, where they came up with a team name, a team song, and created a banner. It was very cool to see each of the teams transform from near strangers to unified teammates! After a full day at camp, we enjoyed some 'Pollo Tropical,' a really great chicken restaurant here. (The Trinis LOVE their chicken!) I'm really looking forward to the rest of the week as God continues to open eyes and soften hearts!
Love,
Brigette
