Power Connection & Work Camp

Work Camp- July 27-31
"Do no conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" -Romans 12:1
The students were put into work groups to go out into the community. Students did things from sorting clothes, to physical outdoor labor. The students learned about being "one body" in Christ, and doing His work.


The whole group before getting on the bus!

"My favorite part about work camp was the work sites because I realized that we take way too many things for granted. We don't worry about where we have to sleep at night or where we will be sleeping tomorrow and other people do. God puts people in other peoples lives for a reason." - Morgan Van Maanen
Power Connection 2009- Kansas City21 students went with New Life to Work Camp and to Power Connection. This years theme was FAITHBOOK. Speakers encouraged students to think about what their "status" would be. Jesus' status would be that "He loves you!" Unlike facebook, with FAITHbook, you should never be concernced about privacy, but you should always allow others to see who you are.

"At Power Connection I really liked all the sessions we went to, and at Work Camp I liked working at the nursing home" - Abbie Ferreira
