Debriefing tonight was just awesome,  uplifting,  encouraging, entertaining and powerful.  The powerful testimonies tonight was the strength for us to continue in the path God has created for us.  We were encouraged tonight to serve with meekness, to have a heart of humility and to follow in the footstep of Jesus. Jesus was the greatest example for us to follow while we are here on this earth.

Love Camp Abeco! Thank you for such a life changing experience. Miss you guys so much, I hope one day I can come back. It’s devastating to see the damage but by the time I left I can see the difference already. So many hands will help and bring Camp Abeco to its feet again but this time around it will be 1000% more blessings to come to those who step foot on those grounds. May god bless each and everyone of you. Once again thank you for the life changing experience.
