Youth Week is a Christian Youth Camp run by Youth for Christ, South Africa. Each year about 600+ young people come together from around southern Africa, to participate in a week of fun, sports, learning, worship, spiritual growth and relationship building. All set in the wonderful facilities of the YFC Cyara training centre in the Magaliesberg.
Overall, Youth Week promises to be a life-changing experience that will set the tone for a dynamic year ahead. (http://www.yfc-cyara.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77&Itemid=92)
With great expectation and anticipation parents give last minute instructions to the 31 kids leaving for Youth Week.
For some kids it was a relief to find that there was a familiar face in the crowd.
Busses arrive...
Last minute instructions given by Uncle Philip (Centre Director) while waiting for final students... "use toilets now, your next opportunity is only in 4 hours!" (being kids, they all said they didn't need to) "bring a jersey/sweater, you will get cold on the bus"... (I'll be fine in this t-shirt)
Finally a 'send-off' prayer by Nathan for safety and God to give them a week of experiences that will radically change their lives... (after pounding the pavement to find sponsors for 11 of the students, he has a vested interest and we will be praying all week)
And they were off to pick up a few in George, and then... 18 hour ride to camp!
