CAMP H2O 2008 Camp H2O returned to ECCO for it’s eighth year. Students from all over the valley and from Texas and Petaluma came to participate in all the camp activities which took place on July 20-26. This year’s theme was “The Start” and students went deep with God to begin a journey that Paul calls the race in 1Corinthians 9:24. As athletes train for their sports, campers trained themselves in the way that God desires. The camp welcomed powerful speakers whom included: Fr. John Riebe, Fr. Don Cleave, Fr. Bruce Taylor, Fr. Bill & Sue Gandenberger, Dr. Cyndi Telander, Greg & Claudia Walgenbach, Fr. Carlos & Carol Raines, John Miller, Bernice Mitchell, June Waltenberger, Christina Raines and Elana Orr. Through various workshops and extreme teachings, campers went deep with who God is and what He desires for our lives. Two powerful nights came on Tuesday and Wednesday with testimonies from counselors and Fr. Bruce Taylor’s message on the Holy Spirit and Spiritual Warfare. God showed up and as one camper put it, “God is here!” God began to work throughout the camp and lives of young people were moved to Christ. A student from the leadership team was healed of an ankle injury that she had sustained for many years while other campers received the Holy Spirit for the first time. Many campers came with their heavy burdens and broken lives and laid them at the foot of the cross for Christ to heal them. As my second year directing the camp I was blessed beyond my expectations and I urge you to continue praying for the young people who attended this year’s Camp H2O. I would also like to give a big thanks to Fr. Bill & Sue Gandenberger for all their hard work and all the counselors and leaders who attended to make this year’s camp one of the best. God truly worked in the lives of the young people this year and H2O was another blessing for our youth. Daniel Marker |
