Serving at a YL Camp

July 13- August 4th I was serving on assignment at lost canyon. Lost canyon is a young life camp in Arizona where we took kids about a month ago. I was blown away seeing the behind the scenes of camp. You can know that hundreds of people are volunteering in the summer, working very hard, to put camp together. All the work it takes is usually unnoticed yet the people are not discouraged. It is amazing to see so many people with servant hearts giving everything they have to see lost kids be found by Jesus.

One of my favorite parts had to be the young lives week. It is a young life camp for teen moms. The whole camp is turned upside down so each kid can experience "the best week of their life." We have strollers and high chairs everywhere. Child care workers paid the $500 to watch these babies all week for free. The Lord worked in huge ways. Generational bondage was broken that week. That is one of many examples of a normal week at a young life camp. Normal people going out of their way to make sure Jesus is shown to the last and the least. Each kid matters there. It is a little glimpse of heaven on earth.This experience made me love young life even more & very excited for the upcoming school year.

Hello Friends

Please continue to be praying for Young Life as we move into this next school year. We have specific needs to be praying for here are just some of them.....

• More Leaders- Every one of our clubs can use more leaders
• Team Leaders- We have hopes for 2 new clubs this year but need the leadership
• Location for our Dana Club
• Financial Resources- It takes money to continue to grow Young Life
• More Prayer Warriors- We meet every Monday and pray, would you consider joining us?

Thanks for looking at our prayers for this next year and being willing to serve Young Life!!!

Lost Canyon- Capernaum Style

Camp, as always, was a jam-packed week full of adventure and fun!  Our campers had the opportunity to try things they had never done before, be wild, goofy, and crazy, and some even conquered a fear they never thought they could.   We had dance parties, sang songs, and played outrageous games, however (from the majority of students I talked to), their hands down favorite part of camp was club.  Club was a time set aside everyday that we were able to take a break from all the camp activities and hear a message from God’s word.  Our speaker Dave did an excellent job of sharing personal stories and stories from the bible that helped explain what God’s love is like, and what it means to have a relationship with him.  I believe that both campers and leaders took something very valuable away from the time we spent at camp.  It was incredible to see God at work in the lives of so many people!

Dana's Last Club of 2013

About 2 weeks ago we had our last club of the year! I can't put into words how amazing this year has been. Despite normal life challenges and difficult circumstances, Jesus continually provided for our club and led us. He brought so many new faces to Young Life. We have 23 kids coming to camp this year, most have never been before! I am so excited to watch them fall in love with Jesus. I am praying they truly come to know him at camp in 2 weeks. We are so blessed, the kids showed up and now we have a fun adventure right around the corner! 

To our donors, Thank you for all your support this year, we could not have done it with out the support of our amazing partners so THANK YOU for making this year possible! You have no idea what an impact you make, from $1 a month to $100. We are grateful for any prayer. It all matters. It all makes this possible. These kids have an opportunity to meet Jesus because of people like you! Thank you for showing them grace by believing in them. We could not do this without you. 

Thank you,  thank you, THANK YOU!

Dana Hills- Lost Canyon 2013

After a year of hard work we finally took our kids to camp. We took 19 students. Most of the kids had never been to camp before. It was an amazing experience to watch God work in their life & draw close to them. Each student had so much fun and I could tell they felt genuinely loved. I love what camp gives the kids. A place to be accepted, welcomed, cared for, and love unconditionally. It is a place where the love of Christ is everywhere.
