We Did It!

    Youth Reach SA in collaboration with Alive Inside hosted a pilot three day camp. the first of many more to come.

     A huge thank you to volunteers from Alive inside, the Camp Managers and staff from www.rmfj.co.za and all the other friends and of course our sponsors. You have made a monumental difference to each of the 50 attendees and we believe this was not just a once off, touch of change, but a life long effect has been started in each students heart.
The seed was planted and it will grow and cause a ripple affect that will be experienced for years to come, in each of their lives and those surrounding them.
    May God bless each one of you who played your part to make this possible.

    This was a pilot camp, giving us a template to work off to develop many more effective camps and if you would like to participate in any way, do not hesitate to make contact and become a world changer with us!
     Our camps are aimed at addressing negative mindsets that cripple us as humans from being all that God has created us to be, and instilling new thought pasterns that enable us to perform at our full potential
     So you can imagine, our students return home, motivated, empowered, rejuvenated, goal driven, and knowing that they are part of a greater family.


Chris said "It was really special for me to see these boys learn so quickly and put into practice the things we taught them. They are real sponges for truth and we had an incredible time with them this weekend and I know it was a time that none of us will ever forget!"

Dito shares practical tips on facing your Giants!

I was privileged to be invited to speak at two of the classes, and to me it wasn't so much about teaching them anything rehearsed or that I read in a book, but rather embracing each student as my own brother and just expressing my love and concern for them.

I went to the camp with the intention of teaching, but I left learning. :-)
The compassion and care that I experienced between all the attendees was that of a close family and brotherhood.
My dream is that we will all take this ability to love your neighbor, close to home and apply it to our everyday lives.

On my way out, I passed one of the students and hugged them, during the hug I encouraged her that her dreams and goals are possible, and that we love her and are always there for her, this brought her to tears, and she expressed how she doesn't know this kind of brotherhood and she doesn't experience this at home.
I dare you, hug someone today! you may change a life.
the trip back home was such an awesome experience to see the joy of positive vision for life, in everyone's eyes 

Tereza from alive inside said: What amazed me was how everything just flowed so easily for this camp, it seemed like one thing after another just came to us. We knew in our hearts that the Lord was in this thing and that Jesus was going to rock these kids’ socks off and we were just so thankful to be a part! And sure enough, that’s exactly what happened!
We are so thankful for His faithfulness to His promises! When He says He will supply all our needs, He really means it; and He is One that you CAN count on!"





Addressing the physic-social needs goes hand in hand with meeting the physical needs of our students. 
thankfully God has come through with shoes and blankets for all attendees!
Smiles all around :-)



Quoted from Tiago Silva
"God did not come to teach us magic tricks but rather change our mindset to one of believing that all things are in fact possible."
