More than 200 children and leaders from eight Rallies across the Manawatū–Whanganui region gathered at Forest Lakes Camp in Ōtaki for the 8th annual Manawatū District Rally Camp.
Under sunny skies, campers enjoyed a full programme of activities—from archery and mudslides to the ever-popular sea biscuits on the lake.
Highlights of the weekend included high-energy worship led by youth band Jampacked and powerful messages from evangelist Ray Cooper (York Street Chapel), helping campers engage with the gospel in meaningful ways.
Rally leaders were especially encouraged by the number of young people who responded to the gospel, making it a weekend marked not only by plenty of fun but also by significant spiritual growth.
