What is training camp?
Training camp is a four day camp compiled of discipleship sessions, meeting and getting to know your team, getting to learn more about the ministry you’ll be doing on your race and finally, lots of porta potties.
The sessions are full of tools and equipment you can use to help better minister while on your race. You’ll learn how to work alongside your teammates and how to respond in everyday situations that you may face while on the field.
Training camp sets you up to be the best version of yourself for your teammates and for the people you’ll be ministering to while during your race.
What I took away
“Kingdom takes time”
As short term missionaries our main goal is to simply plant seeds and share what God has done in our lives in hopes of making a long lasting difference. However, we only plant the seeds, we aren’t always around to see the harvest. Kingdom takes time, seeds take time to grow. Its ok to not see radical change right away, and we aren’t entitled to watch it happen.
“A lie can sound super believable if you don’t know what truth is”
The enemy is constantly telling us lies about ourselves. Making us confused about our identity and question our calling. Its so easy to believe these lies when we aren’t educated on what truth is! Truth is scripture, who God says we are, he is our creator therefore he is the only one who can identify us. The way to combat lies from the enemy is to know truth!
“Cave Table Road”
A tool to checkpoint your relationship with Jesus and those around you is cave, table, road. Cave, this is your personal relationship with God, the things you do in your alone time. Table is your community, the people you’re surrounding yourself with. Road, your work area, essentially your mission field. Each of these three areas all affect the other, its important to be stable and constantly growing in each.
