Youth Fellowship at Landthai Resort

Our first time visiting Landthai Resort located in the mountain area of our local town. It was intended for our youth fellowship. It's also the first time for the young people to go out of the church and enjoy nature with us as in charge of the said ministry. I am grateful to God and our head pastor for allowing this activity and we sure learned so much about prayer and how it can help the youth in their walk with God. Our goal is for them to fall deeper in love with Jesus.

Our event started in the afternoon upon arrival. I contacted the owner of the said resort for the overnight stay in tents. Thankfully, my cousin had a lot of tents that we were able to borrow. So as we arrived, our afternoon session was held with our head pastor giving a message to the youth.

After that session, we pitched our tents and then rested. We brought snacks with us so while some were eating, others enjoyed the cold water of the spring water pool. It's really nice to have a pool on a mountain with nature surrounding it.

In the evening, we had dinner and then proceeded to a camp fire. It was an intimate activity and we sang a lot of worship songs, we had some of the young people sharing their experiences and challenges in life as a Christian. I believe that this made them develop a more close relationship with everyone and that it definitely can build this accountability with each other. Aside from that, it helped me learn more about themselves as well.

We watched the moon and the stars while the fire was still burning. It was time to sleep by 11 PM as we had a morning activity set up which included an early personal devotional time. I personally love that part where I watched the sunrise while reading God's word.

Our breakfast was served at six in the morning so we ate and then we had a short exhortation with my husband sharing how to pray like ACTS which means Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.

Then we had a mini amazing race, we grouped them into two and they did an impromptu yell. It was fun seeing them having fun as they played the games in each station. The last part was getting wet at the pool. It was super fun!

Finally, it was time to go home, we had lunch first and then waited for our church vehicle. I am praying that whatever they learned at our first out-of-church fellowship for 2023, they'd be able to apply it to their own prayer life.
