New Life Peoria Youth Camp, October 10-12 – Psalm 1: The Mountaintop Experience

I had the privilege of speaking at a youth retreat for New Life Community Church Peoria (AZ).

Below are the videos of the four teaching sessions, including Session 3 led by my friend and their youth pastor Noah, and a sample booklet to go alongside the lessons. (We did not use a booklet on this trip, but it did help guide the discussions overall.)

The theme was “Psalm 1: The Mountaintop Experience,” looking at how to live a blessed life of growing in the presence of God rather than focusing on experiences.

May you enjoy and be blessed.

Psalm 1: The Mountaintop Experience

Session 1: Who do you listen to?

Session 2: The Mountaintop Experience: Obedience to whom?

Session 3: Where do I stand?

Session 4: Coming down from the mountain

Prayer for Another Youth Camp 10-12 October, 2026

Hello, wonderful people!

Beginning in a few hours is a youth camp in beautiful Prescott, AZ. I was asked to be the main speaker, and I wrote the outline for the teachings.

Our focus is Psalm 1 and The Mountaintop Experience. Please pray we speak well sharing God’s truth, that these teenagers encounter God in a meaningful and impact full way, and that it is an overall safe and fun weekend. (Of course, God’s will in all things above all!)

Thankfully, my wife gets to join me, so it is also a bit of a retreat for us!

Praise His Holy Name!

Pray: Youth Evangelism Training Camp

This first week of June, I am taking some of my youth to an evangelism training camp.

Please pray for clarity and focus, a desire to grow in Christ, some fun, and to leave with a boldness to share the Gospel.

Our wonderful congregation even made it so that no one had to pay their own way to go! Praise God for that.

Answered Prayers from Youth Camp

Firstly, thank you to all who prayed for our youth this past week (July 22-25). 5 churches were represented this week, about 140 students attending.

Here are some quick updates on this week:

Our 2 JH boys
  • One student confessed his pride struggles, and he showed the fruit over the next day we were at camp.
  • Several students committed to actively living their lives for serving Christ.
  • At least four students came forward to receive Christ!
  • James was praying someone would experience a miracle to help their faith grow deeper. He was born color blind (able to see black/white, grays, and brown (typically from red)). After about 30 minutes of praying for his fellow students, he opened his eyes to notice the stage lights looked different. This young man, praying someone else might experience a miracle, had his own! James is no longer color blind!
    • James is not from my congregation, but he was in my cabin. We did not get to bed until after 1:00 am, because he kept discovering new colors and shades
Immediately after the Wednesday night prayer time. James is surrounded by friends praising God.

It is always amazing to see the goodness of God. Please continue to pray for our new believers, students who had major breakthroughs, and for James and his new vision!

Love and grace,

Daniel

Prayer for Another Youth Camp

This is a good summer.

A few churches have come together to send youth on a combined Junior High/High School summer camp, July 22-25.

The theme for this camp is “Breakthrough,” overcoming sin that hinders and doubts that slow our walk. I personally have some youth coming who have discussed needing this.

Please join us in praying for true breakthrough for our preteens and teens this coming week!

Prayer for Youth Camp

Greetings in the Lord!

Today (Sunday, May 26), our congregation is going to a local lake for baptisms! While there, our youth group is hosting a Taco Bar fundraiser to help cover camp costs.

This week, Tuesday-Friday, we are going on a camp out by a river. Our focus this week is “A Life of Worship,” looking at how teens can worship in everyday life.

Please join me in praying for a safe, empowering week of camping and seeking God (especially seeing as I wrote the curriculum!)

May the Holy Spirit move in their (our) lives in mighty ways, we have fun, and draw closer to God and each other.

Thanks in advance!

Prayer for Youth Camp!

Our Youth Next Door is headed to Mixed JH/HS camp this week! It is our first “modern traditional camp”, with cabins and bunks and fun and other churches.

Please join me in praying for safety, lots of fun, and – most importantly – getting to know Jesus and to love God better.

We have a fantastic group of teens (and pre-teens!), so I expect God to do great things!
