YANGBALA KEMP
Our Annual Youth Camp
At Yangbala Kemp (Youth Camp) in Banatjarl in the NT, campers come together for two days of fun, games, swimming, singing, and engaging with the Bible in the Kriol language. Supported by a team from SU, Camp Coolamatong, and local Indigenous Christian leaders, the camp was a massive success.
“It gives their children the opportunity to see that Christianity is not just something for adults, but for young people too.”
Please continue to pray for this vital work, and also for the SU team continuing to serve and walk alongside local Indigenous Christian leaders as they reach more young people with God’s love, hope and good news.
