Our last LTC
This was our fourth and unfortunately last year at LTC, the Lahoe Teen Conference. Like always it was an amazing time with the teenagers. God blessed us with wonderful weather and great fellowship. This year it was special …
… to have teenagers not only from Israel but also from Palistine at the LTC camp.
The testamony of a young man from Bethlehem (Palistine area) touched me deeply. He grew up with hatred towards the Israelis, and still today it is difficult for him to see the Israeli flag, which still symbolizes hostility to him. But he also had bad experiences and carries deep wounds caused by his people, the muslems. His aunt died on a bus in Israel when the Hamas once again attacked Israel.
For me it was encouraging to see how on the one hand German Christians together with Messianic Jews become one in Jesus and on the other hand how God gives forgiveness between the Israelis and the Palistines. There is still a long way to go, but I’m excited to see what God still has planned for his people.
Once again Danny was part of the drama team. For his role this time he had to put quite a bit of weight on to represent the character well. As grumpy old American boxing coach he made everybody laugh.
The highlight for the teens was probably the ralley through the forest. The teens were sponsored per lap to collect money to pay for the flights for the teenagers from Israel and Palistine. They had so much fun and “coach” was encouraging them as well as he could.
