Faith Camp 2010 Your KIngdom Come...
Faith camp 2010 was the 25th for Powerpack. Back in 1985 Heather and a small team of 12 leaders set off with all the equipment loaded in a ford fiesta. Back then God’s power was at work in children and their families and now thousands and thousands of young people have been ‘Powerpacks’.
The week as normal was packed with fun and laughter, praise and prayer and plenty of opportunities for God adventures. A highlight for lots of children was our Kingdom Agent groups, which gave the children missions: one mission was to learn to pray for the supernatural; one for nation shakers, looking at Powerpack Thailand; one was operation blessing, hearing God speak and leaving notes or Bible verses for people on site; the final one was ‘listen & Go’ ask God for people and things pray for and go and find them and pray.
Here are a few testimonies:

On Tuesday while we were singing ‘Worship the King’ God filled me with the Holy Spirit and I started to cry – Hannah age 7I closed my eyes and God spoke to me, he said I needed to pray for somebody in the bookshop.

We asked God for some clues of who to pray for – he said stadium, pink jacket, Lily, more Holy Spirit. When we got to the stadium we saw a girl with pink jacket, she said her name was Lily, so we prayed and afterwards she said she felt fluttery. A Yellow Group

This year’s event was entitled ‘Your Kingdom Come’ and looked at four areas: God is always good, Nothing is impossible for God, Jesus is the Champion and You are significant, loved and valued. The children learnt a kingdom declaration:
I am a child of God (John 1 verse 12)
God will always be good to me. (Matthew 7 verse 11) (HEART)
With God nothing is impossible (Philippians 4 verse 13) (QUESTION MARK)
I’m a winner because Jesus won the victory. (Romans 8 verse 37) (CROSS)
I’m significant, loved and valued. (Jeremiah 29 verse 11) (U letter)
We used a shield as a visual aid and talked about coat of arms showing family, what we believe in and our identity. |
