Hello everyone!
Remedy Camp 2009
When I got here in Canada on December 31st, 2008 I didn’t have a clue on how I could help people around me and make a difference. Well, I knew I was supposed to help a family member with his business but I was looking forward for something exciting and stimulating. I wanted to do something meaningful, something that would develop and deepen my relationship with God and God’s people. I other words, I really wanted to help in the church.
So, a few months passed, things changed and the opportunity to help with the Jr. Youth ministry @ OCC came up. A few weeks earlier I had talked to my accountability partner and he said “Dive head first. Take every opportunity you have. Don’t be afraid to get involved. ” I am really thankful for those words today. When that opportunity came up I thought… why not? And so my journey with this awesome group began, Remedy Jr. Youth.
It is funny. In my Christian life I have never walked in God’s presence, let me explain: I usually “stumble” guided by his presence… Somehow I end up on a place where I find personal growth and fulfillment, even though I never predicted that I would be living in that place or situation. Does that happen to you too?
Anyway… I am really glad to be with these guys learning with them and trying to help with whatever they need. They bring a joy and love to my life that I never felt before for a group of people. It is weird sometimes… I’m preparing some stuff for the church and I start thinking… “How are those guys doing?” “And the guys on grade 9? Are they enjoying High School, being an example?” “What could they be doing right now?”. It is great to feel this concerned cause that shows that God put in my heart love for them and I am thankful for that. I don’t know how long my walk with them will last but I want to enjoy every step of the way.
O well… that’s all for now. Jr. Youth… I love you. Count on me for whatever you need!

To man belong the plans of the heart,
but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue.
All a man’s ways seem innocent to him,
but motives are weighed by the LORD.
Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
and your plans will succeed.
Proverbs 16:1-3
We are very glad to hear these words from you.
May God’s blessings be with you. We pray for you EVERY single day and we know that God is taking care of you.
From Your family who really loves you and miss you.
