Young Lives Camp, 2016 Cairn Brae



The photo below is of the campers and their leaders at Young Lives Camp, Cairn Brae, Scotland 2016. Their pose says it all: campers/leaders/Young Life International/Young Lives = YL!


Tom and I were blessed to play a small role at this camp this year. We were the cooks/program helpers/general grunts. A peek at part of our schedule:



Bollywood and an around the world treasure hunt both involved us and got us out of the kitchen. For a couple of old geezers (in this group at least!), we did OK.



(Hint: monkeys!)

Young Lives is Young Life for young mums. Year round time with mentors, bi-weekly Club (which includes a meal with their children and childcare during Club time) and bi-weekly time in Bible study, teach these young women who Jesus is and how precious they are to Him. None of us are  meant to live life alone - we are children of the King and He is here for us.

This is the group our time will be focused on this year. We will be extra hands and feet for Annelie, Area Director for Tayside Young Lives. Young Life International has given us a 30 hour work week which we will be keeping track of for the UK government. Visa holders (through their Line Managers, who in our case is Annelie) are held accountable for using their time in the UK for the purpose stated in the Visa application. It's all very official and so...not too much monkeying around for us!

Leaning on God.
