To ensure young Salvationists continue to serve the Lord and remain in the Army, the Prairie Division is helping teens develop a missional mindset. “Every summer we will hold an outreach camp,” explains Captain Corrine Cameron, area youth secretary, Saskatchewan. “Each fall we will also hold an evangelistic youth councils to combine the young people from teen camp with those who regularly attend our corps. Each spring we will conduct an event to help those who already know Jesus to connect with him more deeply through missions.”

At the Unlock Your Mission training weekend at Beaver Creek Camp in March, the young people made masks to show how they are shaped by God with unique personalities and abilities for his purposes. They also discovered their spiritual gifts by doing a gift inventory. This year's evangelism project was Kidz Konnect, a junior youth councils for Saskatchewan children that was held at the end of April.

“In the training sessions, the teens were placed in four gift-based missional groups: worship, drama, games and crafts,” says Captain Cameron. On the Sunday morning, participants were given a covenant bracelet to help them remember to pray for each other and to understand that their mission is only lived out when God is first in their lives.
