This summer, as you may know, I'm working at Lake Geneva Youth Camp. I'm the A/V Sound Technician but I'm also a Music Lead. I've already had the chance to lead worship for kids and it's been such a blessing. I love leading worship and leading worship for kids has been such an experience. If you've never led worship at a camp before or for kids, I would love to share with you guys just a little bit of what I've been learning and how God is using this opportunity to impact me this summer.
Kids are AWESOME. It's true. Have you ever had times throughout the school year where you just needed a little bit more excitement? Well, hundreds of kids can give you just that and a whole lot more. Kids have a young excitement that literally can't come from anywhere else. So what that means is that I constantly have an excitement to lead worship and see them in worship.
There isn't anything like seeing young 6 through 8 year olds really understand who and what God can do in their lives. There is a common misconception that kids don't have the ability to fully grasp who God is. Something I've learned ever since I've been apart of camp ministry is that, this misconception is absolutely not true. Kids truly have the ability to worship God, if you are really intentional in allowing God to work. There is nothing that I can do to change lives, but I'm so glad that I can be a little part of some kids' lives.
If you've never worked in childrens ministry or your view on it has CHANGED I pray that you give it a chance.
