English Camp - Day 3 Update - Tim

Hey guys! Day three has come to an end and I’m amazed at how much progress we have made with building friendships, sharing the Gospel, and serving the teens. After spending only 24 hours total at the camp I’ve already built some close relationships with the Hungarians. They are just like Americans only they have accents and speak a second language. One thing that surprised me is the fact that they know so much about American music. They know and listen to all the popular music, such as Skrillex, AC/DC, David Guetta, Hillsong United, Chris Tomlin, Coldplay, and, of course, Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen, and much, much more. I was afraid it was going to be difficult to make friends, or be able to communicate with the teenagers, but God has answered my prayers and has made the language barrier no problem at all. I am having way more fun on this trip than I ever thought I could. Christina talked about how amazing it was being able to worship the same God with people thousands of miles away. This trip was my first time being able to experience singing with others of a different country and language. It was so moving to realize how no matter what language anyone speaks or country one comes from we all are worshipping the same awesome, loving and all-powerful God. One thing that I always am amazed by is the enormous amount of love God has for us and how awe-inspiring He is. Tom and Kelsey performed a beautiful rendition of Who Am I by Casting Crowns today during worship. The song talks about how we are nothing compared to Him yet he desires to know us and care for us. The chorus goes like this: I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean A vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours, I am Yours Words can’t express how much joy this song brings me. The God of the universe, the Creator of all things, the one who sent His ONLY son down to Earth to be brutally murdered wants ME, a sinful, pathetic human being to be HIS. It makes me choke up from the immense joy that it brings. Continue praying that the team has the opportunities and courage to share this truly amazing news of love. To God be the glory, Tim
