July 14-19, 2008, Eighty-three youth from across the nation gathered for FLY Boot Camp at the ARC in Osceola, WI. The theme of the camp "On your Way" focused on Matthew 28:18-20 and what it is to go and how to be a witness. Speakers shared and spoke on evangelism and witnessing to our friends, family and the world around us. One student said, "I learned success is not bringing someone to Christ. Success is opening up your mouth to share God's Word. I'm definitely bring that back to my home town." Read more testimonies.
