Corps Cadets Celebrate Easter Together

On Thursday, April 9th, young people ages 13 to 25 came from all over the Kenya East Territory to attend Corps Cadet Camp. They were joined by a team from THQ as well as Divisional Youth Officers from nine different Divisions and Districts. It turned out to be a weekend the delegates will not soon forget!

On Good Friday the Corps Cadets received deep insight into the Passion of Jesus through lessons and discussion. Then on Saturday they learned how to effectively do Corps Cadet lessons so they could go home and continue learning. We really appreciated the Divisional Youth officers who lent a helping hand everywhere the whole weekend. They taught lessons, helped with games, chaperoned the delegates, and generally were good role models for the Corps Cadets to emulate.

There was also some recreation to break up the lessons. Delegates were able to stretch themselves and compete in crazy games. They also were able to watch a movie, and have great fellowship through devotions and meals with new friends they had never met before. The meals we had at the Camp’s host Nairobi Girls Center were delicious!

Unfortunately it all had to end. The Camp came to a close on Sunday, April 12th with an Open Air meeting and Easter Service at The Salvation Army Quarry Road Corps. The delegates performed a Gospel Dance routine they designed themselves, and gave testimonies about how God has worked in their lives. We were all sad to have to say goodbye and watch the delegates go home but they went with a better knowledge of God and many new relationships that will help them stay accountable to the decisions they had made. Everyone looks forward to Corps Cadet Camp 2010 and hope to see even more Salvation Army Corps Cadets there!
