In April, LHM-Myanmar hosted a summer Bible camp in Pyin Oo Lwin, Mandalay Region. At the end of the camp, many youths wanted to continue learning the Bible, so during the month of May, LHM-Myanmar staff hosted an online Bible camp for youth using Zoom.
Every Saturday at 8 a.m. LHM-Myanmar staff and a group of youth between the ages of 14 and 22 came together virtually to share the Word of God and their life stories. Each week more participants told their friends about the experience and invited more people to attend. Some who don't have access to a phone would meet up with another person to participate together.
The weekly lessons focused primarily on the fruits of the Spirit and how we can apply them to our daily lives. After the camp ended, participants reached out to LHM-Myanmar staff to share the impact the lessons had on them.
"I thank God and LHM-Myanmar. Now I take more time for reading the Bible. I am applying the nine fruits of the Spirit-love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control-into everything I do and I'm trying to love others who have hurt me. I look forward to meeting all the teachers again." Chan Nyein
"First, I thank God for giving me a chance to participate in the Bible camp. Now I am reading the Bible more, praying every day, and applying the nine spiritual fruits in my life. Thank you to all the teachers. I wish to meet again at next year's Bible camp." Angel
