VDM '09

(The view from our window one afternoon.)


A "Verano de Misiones" (VDM) is a week-long camp provided by some Youth With A Mission (YWAM) bases where teens can get a week-long taste of missions. It involves teachings on Teamwork and Intercession (among many other things), choreography and skit workshops, and team games that illustrate the teachings. Street evangelism is always interjected sometime during the week.

I participated in one such camp three years ago in Pichilemu (up north), and just this past week joined my friend and attended a VDM on the big island of Chiloe (in the south). Both were a wonderful time.

Lessens I learned from this one past: God can reach you through people with a different theological background than yours, He use you when you are doing something you don't believe works, and He is always anxious to reach you, even when you acting as an observer. Important things to keep in mind.
