Pioneer Boot Camp.

I am honestly so proud of our teens! 90% our youth is on outreaches through out the week, even by themselves! I recently heard one of our teens watches "Way of the Master" videos for an hour before he goes on outreach so he is equipped to preach the Gospel with power! Many of them have also sacrificed a lot for Pioneer Boot Camp.

For all parents: know that you have great teens that are willing to do anything for Jesus!

I just wanted to write a reply to a comment left on the previous post. I think we all need to be reminded of something. Pioneer Boot Camp is a privilege! We are being allowed to go visit a smaller church, help them out, and learn from them. Any teen who wants to be sent out one day is getting a years worth of "Preacher Training" in one week.

Don't miss the point of the reason you are going on pioneer boot camp. We are a youth group with a bigger vision than ourselves! That is why we do PBC.

The comment asked if the t-shirt change was to save the church money. Seeing as each group was paying for their own that is obviously not the case; but even if it were we should be happy to save the church money that could be sent to Kenya for land, or Czech for their conference, Panama for their building, or used in our church for another need. And I know that when seen in that light any of our teens would be willing to give up a t-shirt for any of our other churches!

Why one color? Well we are one group. One united youth group willing to do whatever it takes to see souls saved and as ONE BIG GROUP not 6 little groups we are going to rock the United States for Jesus together!

Pioneer Boot Camp is going to be amazing! I can't wait to see all God does!
