One of the unique ministries of ZOE is sponsorship of youth
camps for orphans. Many of these children know nothing but
suffering and struggle. Often they bury their parents and
then have no time to process their grief because they have
to immediately turn their attention to survival.
The youth camps offer a respite from their difficult lives.
At these youth camps 80 - 90 orphans are brought together
from three or more sites. For a few days they have the
chance to simply be kids. Through music, games, worship, and
evangelism these children experience the love of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Not surprisingly, the volunteer missionaries
find themselves just as blessed as the children.
As one young boy was recently trying to describe the fun he
was having at the camp he stated, “This camp is the most
ever!”
