My first impression of Boot Camp was of sweat, mud and mosquitoes. I was a little shocked at how primitive it was and how many rules there are, but as the first days dragged on, I realized why we lived so simply and why there were rules. The primitive living was to wean us from [...]
Boot Camp has been a great experience for me. Don’t get me wrong—the first three days almost killed me. As I handed Boot Camp over to God, I felt a weight lifting off of me. Even though I knew it would still be tough, I knew God would be holding my hand the whole way. [...]
Throughout the past year, God has been gradually taking things away from me that I might trust in or find my identity in besides Him. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago that I realized that the pain of these things being taken away from me was for my own benefit and God’s glory. Coming [...]
What a great summer it has been so far! The team has enjoyed their bathing time in the arctic river. It is cold, but the air temperature has been warm. So, at the end of work, it feels very nice. One of the things the team is learning to do on a regular basis is [...]
My Boot Camp experience has been good—hard, but good. When I got here, I thought, “What have I done”. I was not a happy person. But God taught me something when I first got here—”Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and all thy mind.” I was so much happier after I put this [...]

This is the hardest team to get into a town because of distance and [...]

We are all doing wonderful and thank you so much for your continued [...]
Listening to Bob Bland talk about how the first three days of Boot Camp were the hardest ones hardly phased me, because on the first day of Boot Camp, I was so pumped, so ready to be here. I have waited two years to come back to Teen Missions and now that I was finally [...]
One thing God has been teaching me here at Boot Camp is that He doesn’t always use huge altar calls and big spiritual highs to change me. And that no matter how much I hate my situation, He is capable of changing my heart and attitude. I’ve also learned a lot about maturity and becoming [...]
The team is doing great! They are finishing up with some steel cutting and tying in preparation for pouring the footer on the bathroom block. We have finally gotten a little rain which seems to have dropped the temperatures a few degrees, while not making the road to Honey Camp too terrible. On Saturday, the [...]
