                                                              It’s definitely been a turning point.  It’s given me more direction for my life and makes me feel like I have an idea of where I‘m going.  I have also become closer to God and learned more ways to help our relationship grow.  Emily

                                                              It has taught me to stand stronger in my beliefs and set more standards.  Nan

                                                              I feel like I gained a sense of direction through the life assessment and the setting of dreams and goals.  Kari

                                                              Reflections on Relationships with Others:

                                                              I will look at everyone through God’s eyes rather than my own, and start relationships with people I normally wouldn’t have.  ~Johannah

                                                              It gave me the ability to plan ahead and make goals and communicate so I will be able to share my faith with my friends.  ~Isaac

                                                              I will spend more time with my family and spread the word at school and with my friends.  ~Aleisha

                                                              I want to spend more time with my younger siblings and get to know them better.  ~Joel

                                                              I enjoyed spending time with friends that love God.  I have never seen another group of people like it.  ~Blake

                                                              I will try to build more of an environment of encouragement among my peers to create a support system.  ~Bethany

                                                               

                                                              Reflections on my Relationship with Jesus:

                                                              This week has helped me let go of a lot of hurt I’ve been holding onto.  It also helped me learn to turn to God for strength and comfort.  ~Lizzie

                                                              I am going to start using the Bible a lot more outside of church.  ~Torr

                                                              I have learned how to listen to God and how He talks to me.  ~Bethany

                                                              This week has really made me realize how much I am truly blessed and I have so much to be thankful for.  Also how important it is to stay strong in your faith even through hard times.  ~Sarah

                                                              It has brought me closer to Jesus, and cemented my faith in him.  ~Hannah

                                                              This week has impacted my life by teaching me how to surrender to God.  ~Jason

                                                              This week has got me closer to God and has taught me to read and meditate on the Bible.  I think through the Bible I can be a better role model and follower of Christ.  ~Karl

                                                              I have a desire for not just settling for a personal relationship with Jesus and stopping there, but I want to pursue intimacy with Christ. ~ Abigail

                                                              Start making a habit out of reading my Bible on a regular basis.  ~Zach

                                                              It was nice to just stop and be still for once, to listen to God  ~Kaelin

                                                              It has definitely helped me trust God with my life.  Heidi

                                                              Reflections on Leadership:

                                                              It has brought out the leader in me.  It was amazing to hear God’s voice so clearly.  ~Mark.

                                                              I will start talking to my friends about my faith.  I will also start a Bible study for those still in high school and those who aren’t in college.  ~Karl

                                                              Be braver and more open about my faith with people.  ~Sarah

                                                              I want to be a positive influence on my friends at school and in the wrestling room. I want to have “Jesus and me time” every morning when I wake up! ~Adam

                                                              I will orchestrate a community of guys who have integrity and character as we fight lust with Jesus Christ.  ~Josh

                                                              This is the best camp experience I have ever had.  I feel more confident that I can stand up for GOD and don’t have to worry about what people think of me.  ~Kaylynn

                                                              I am going to be more open about my faith and not be afraid.  Shannon

                                                              It made me realize that I need to be courageous and start sharing the gospel with other people more.  ~Dustin

                                                              This week impacted my faith life by showing me I have a lot of opportunities to show others to God through my actions.  ~Breanna
