“My favorite thing about Camp Tejas is all the new people I met. America
is hotter than Korea. I expected to see tons of skyscrapers but I ended up
in Giddings, where there’s just a lot of land and one-story buildings.”

“When I was living in Belmopan, it was even hotter than Texas.
At Tejas, one of the biggest lessons that Christ taught me was
to focus my eyes on Him in my relationships.”
“In the states, faith is shouted from rooftops,. in the
UK, it’s seen as ‘uncool’ to be Christian so no one talks
about it. From Tejas I have learned that I am more
confident than I thought.”

“I miss my family and eating kimchi, but there are so many lovely, kind
people here. Also in America, the men always open the doors. A lesson that
I learned at camp that I want to share back home is to be humble.”

Kyung-Bo Min (25)
“A culture difference that I’ve discovered is that Koreans
respect their elders more than they do in America. The
most important lesson I have learned so far from Tejas is
how to serve.”

“I want to teach people to open up and share their testimonies.
In Korea, they only want to talk about the good things, not
their weaknesses. Here in America people really like to hug.”

Maew Chaiwiang (27)
“The biggest lesson that I have learned here is that money
can crush people. Also, I’ve learned a lot about patience.
The one thing that I didn’t expect is that there are really no
transportation systems here.”
