"God is real, friends are radical, and training camp was surprisingly outrageous." – Kimberly Liette
Training Camp gets a bad rap. If you're a future World Racer, you've probably blog stalked and heard horror stories of fish head soup, sleeping in a bus, and crying every day.
While some of those things may happen, Training Camp tends to be not only a catalyst for change in a Racer's journey, but a wonderful week full of friendship, bonding, memories, and fun. A week where God shows up and makes himself more real to us than we ever imagined. A week of healing, anointing, and dance parties. Which brings us to last week.
This year's May Training Camp for QRST Squads was phenomenal. The staff entered into the week praying and seeking the Lord about what he had in store for us. We expected (and saw) deliverance, freedom, joy, fun, and an unprecedented dose of God the Father's love for his kids. Let's just say staff and Racers alike were rocked this week. We could tell you about how WE think camp went, or we could show you what Racers have been saying. This blog is a mash-up of photos, quotes, and videos from last week. QRST Squads – we love you!
