SONGS OF CAMP PURSUIT 2013

For the first time in the history of Youth Unity we had two camps this month! God moved powerfully in both camps! I'm so grateful for our pastors, who have paved the way for this to happen. I am so grateful for my sister and youth pastor Christi who decided to follow God's unprecedented idea without questioning it and being willing to launch people to pastoral work with such love and wisdom. Thank you God for our pastors! Whenever you can, approach these amazing people and let them know how their YES to God has led you to say YES to a camp full of the Presence of God! I also want to thank the amazing Vida en Fuego Youth Team! These people know how to praise and worship God. Not just because they can sing, dance, or play an instrument (and they do it with excellence), but because to them worship is a lifestyle! I love these people and I love the amazing work of the Lord in their lives!

I loved seeing our generation worship the Lord this year in Camp Pursuit. Whether they were 28 or 12 years old, the passion was one of PURSUING God! I wanted to share the song list of Camp Pursuit with you guys so you can continue on your journey of pursuing God with all your heart! Keep searching for more songs like these. Songs that will lead you to PURSUE GOD.  As human beings we are always pursuing something. If we don't pursue God we will end up pursuing the wrong things; things that will bring suffering and pain to our lives.

So let us press on and PURSUE God as His Word tells us, "with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). And music is a powerful instrument that God created for us to pursue Him. Some people use it the wrong way and the lyrics lead us away from God! So beware of those songs and nourish your spirit with songs that will please God and will lead you to pursue Him.

Here is the list. The youtube clips is only for reference. It's better if you download these songs from itunes or if you buy the whole CD :) (Numbers 1 and 8 we sang only at the Junior High/High Camp, we could sing more cause we had more days!) :)
