Sealed Orders

Try this idea, the next time you have a youth camp or overnight retreat

1. Before breakfast, require each youth to find a quiet place where they can be alone outside with their Bible.
2. For the "Sealed Orders", type up personal devotions for each morning and give youth a one page sealed personal devotion.
3. Youth must read the scripture passage, the text on the paper and then answer the open ended questions in the devotion. They get 30 minutes and they must use this entire time to have their devotion and listed to God.
4. After breakfast and clean up they come together in pre-defined small groups with a leader and talk about their devotions (all devotions are the same), this set time is also 30 minutes.
