In Retrospect: Impactful Moments at Abide 2023

August 22, 2023
by Swahiba@OlympicDrive

My experience at abide camp is truly unforgettable and holds a special place in my heart. Interacting with my peers allowed me to form meaningful connections and forge new friendships. Collaborating with others taught me the value of teamwork and exposed me to fresh perspectives that contributed to my personal growth.

The camp’s speakers imparted valuable lessons about living in accordance with my faith and upholding strong moral values. Their teachings emphasized the importance of sexual morality, good character, and unwavering faith. A particular movie underscored that life has its ups and downs, but faith should remain steadfast as God’s love and purpose for us remain constant.

Engaging in sports and various activities brought immense enjoyment. The competitive spirit during games prompted us to think critically and collaborate effectively. While I didn’t win the tug-of-war, participating was a highlight. The arts and crafts sessions encouraged creativity within our groups, fostering a sense of camaraderie.

The well-prepared and delicious food provided sustained energy throughout the day. This ensured that I could fully engage in every aspect of the camp.

The praise and worship sessions led by the team created a spiritually uplifting atmosphere, inviting the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The presence of supportive leaders greatly contributed to my positive experience. Their effective communication and willingness to address any concerns fostered a comfortable environment.

One significant takeaway was realizing the weight of leadership responsibilities and the dedication it requires. Assisting the camp’s leaders highlighted the importance of hard work and commitment.

Overall, my expectations of connecting with peers, expressing my talents for God’s glory, and contributing to the camp’s activities were wonderfully met.

Thank you, partners and friends, for enabling Swahiba Networks to create life-changing moments in the lives of our beneficiaries; your support shapes futures and inspires lasting transformations.
