About 150 campers attended a national Alliance youth retreat in Indonesia recently. “The week was jam-packed with fun-filled activities from music to community-building exercises,” said Alliance missionary Jim Kendall. The campers participated in nightly services, relevant seminars, evangelistic activities, and youth leadership training. One of the highlights of the retreat was a “love, sex, and dating” seminar that ended with about one-third of the youth making vows of abstinence until marriage. “Follow-up sessions are already planned,” said Kendall. “Praise the Lord for His answer to the prayers of many. Pray that seed sown will continue to bear fruit.”
