Sport camp invigorates Aborigine youths physically, spiritually

>Reported by Chang Mo

>Written by Lydia Ma

East Amis Presbytery organized a sports camp for Aborigine youths  this summer 
from July

5~7, 2010. About 120 youths signed up to play either men’s  basketball or 
women’s volleyball,

despite sweltering weather. They were joined by foreign youths  participating 
in PCT’s “I Love

>Taiwan” Mission (ILT) as well.

Besides playing sports, Aborigine youths were encouraged and  strengthened 
through

services held a various occasions during the camp. Speakers  inspired them to 
guard their

hearts, put Christ at the center of their lives, and act  responsibly.

PCT Youth Ministry Committee Chairman Sam Lee used examples of  famous athletes 
such

as Michael Jordan to encourage youths. The basketball star had  apparently 
treated every

practice as a real match. Lee used it as example to urge youths to  be faithful 
even in the

smallest things in life, and give their best shot in all things so  they could 
overcome barriers and challenges.

Towards the end of this camp, many youths rededicated their lives  to God and 
rediscovered

their passion to serve God once again after being inspired by  encouraging 
seminars and

>worship services.
