This past weekend, September 26th -28th the LATCOM leaders from Santa Cruz and the REDES leaders from the Lomerio hosted a three-day camp for Chiquitano youth in El Púquio. Here is Diana Vasquez’ report of that event.

Campamento Vertical: Una Fe En Accion, (Camp Vertical: Faith in Action) pulled together 181 youth from 11 communities with the purpose of transforming their lives through a deep encounter with God. During those days, every activity, every message, and every fun moment of shared experiences was designed to purposefully open the doors of the lives of these youth. In the end, the most moving event was when 15 youth went forward to make the eternal life changing decision to follow Jesus Christ, and 6 more made the commitment to return to Him. These were not casual moments in the lives of these youth, but rather the seeds of change that will mark the hearts of this generation for the rest of their lives.

(Note from Tim Ramsey: Remember that in the past few months 103 Chiquitano youth accepted the Lord through the one-day camps REDES leaders hosted throughout the Lomerio, and this camp was an opportunity to bring them all together for a time of growth. For these 181 campers this was a powerful time to deepen their understanding of the Lord and to learn how to put their newfound faith into action).

Thank you to the donors and prayer partners who made this possible. And a huge applause for the REDES Team, the LATCOM Team from SCZ, and to Mel Rasse the main plenary speaker who poured their all into making this event an unforgettable eternal experience.
