"UnMasked"
Psalms 139:23-24
"Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!"
Masks have become a part of our lifestyle as we have adapted to the covid-19 pandemic. There are even young kids who can’t remember or have never experienced what life was like before masks. But if you think about it: this trend of masking up actually brings into the light what we have been doing every day, even before the pandemic. Don’t we all mask ourselves, or part of our character, so as to conform with how the rest of humankind masks themselves? For the sake of fitting in with others, to be accepted, we often make the trade of giving who God created us to be and we put on masks to cover up ourselves. To be clear: we all desire to be known, but the way we often go about, by putting on masks, is wrong. And sometimes, we go as far as to compromise our faith by putting a mask on God and what He says in His Word.
As much as there is an industry now for various types of masks (N95, surgical, cute cloth, bandanas, tshirts, etc.), people are tired of wearing masks. And the same can be said about the lifestyle we have made in masking ourselves- it is tiring to keep putting on masks. So what does it look like to unmask ourselves? To stop hiding behind these masks that we have put up to conform with others. What does it look like to unmask Satan’s lies and deceptions that cling to our hearts? To be transformed by the truth of God’s Word?
As the psalmist proclaims, our hope is for students to find freedom and healing as they posture to unmask themselves before God and others.

DCCYC is held at Lakeview Baptist Assembly, Lone Star, Texas
Who We AreDCCYC is a Christian camp serving our youth among the Chinese churches in the DFW Metroplex. We serve students from incoming 7th grade to high school Seniors going off to college each summer. Campers get to be themselves and develop deep friendships with their peers and counselors, all the while being encouraged to explore faith and God.

Our HistoryDCCYC started in the 1980s by two Chinese churches and grew to more than 10 churches in the DFW Metroplex area. Each church has its representative in the board. The board meets each month to prepare for camp. The Camp Director is rotated among the board members each year.
