We met the groups we will be working with at the camp: Josiah Venture, an international mission agency consisting of interns from the U.S. and Czech team members and focuses on empowering local churches in Eastern Europe, and a church group of young adults from Portland, Oregon.

Through enjoyable, honest conversations, we are beginning to learn what it means to be a youth in a post-Christendom society. It requires a strength of character and fortitude to walk in the counter culture and that's exactly what young Christians are doing.
