listened to Katey Anderson’s opening comments.
“We thank everyone for making the awesome decision to
enroll in this year’s summer camp,” Katey said. “Some of you

are here because you want to be, some are here be- cause
your intentions are to attend this camp just to see what it would

to be one of the overseers of this year’s summer camp, I was
surprised. I was so excited, I looked forward to it. As you all
know, God has done a mighty work through Samaria, Katey

and I. Our desire is to teach and encourage the youth on how
to stand for Jesus in all areas of their lives, and how to live a life
walking in the spirit.”
Adriana moved back as Samaria came up. “Thank you.
