Our theme for Youth Camps 2009 is Collide. When a collision occurs both parties involved are affected. It is our desire to see the lives of our LA Youth impacted as well as the lives of those they come in contact with. We believe wholeheartedly God has a special anointing for this generation; it is our desire to partner with each of you (Pastor, Parent, Guardian, Youth Worker, Church)

to equip and challenge them to respond to the call God has for them.

Recently God shared an impacting revelation/truth with me. Israel was told all
throughout the Old Testament of a deliverer to come and the freedom He was

to bring. Isaiah said “the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His

name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace.” Undoubtedly Jews believed The Deliverer was going to come upon a white horse with a great army of celestial soldiers and free them from the oppression of foreign rulers. He would set up His Kingdom and there would be peace in their lands. But God had other plans.

He was not planning to come and liberate as they believed He would, instead His plan was to “make a way of escape” in Himself from their problems without changing their reality or situation. For this reason many rejected Him. They

did not like the idea of having to cope with life not escape from life.
