What a day! Today was American day,
so there was high energy starting from our first icebreaker of “riverbank” to
the end of the day’s dance party.
As
our days at camp are soon coming to an end, :( that doesn’t discourage the campers from staying even longer. We end camp,
have a debrief meeting, come back upstairs to leave….and they are still there!
It’s so encouraging to see that they actually enjoy our company :) .
It was scorching outside today so
instead of going straight out for games, we watched the movie, “Facing the
Giants.” I haven’t seen it in so long, and I forgot how amazing it is! I saw
many teary faces, and they all clapped at the end! Then, we went outside and
since baseball seemed a little complicated to teach them, we taught a variation
of kickball, and it was a hit (literally)!
Instead of leaving after the
afternoon games, the students stayed and ate an American BBQ dinner with us.
With plates towering with hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and watermelon, we
enjoyed fun conversation and fellowship.
I can’t even begin to tell how much
the Lord has blessed us so far. It’s been crazy how much God has been answering
prayers. At our team meetings, I’m so encouraged to hear all of the great
conversation in small group and during meals that we’ve had with the students.
Many kids are asking thoughtful questions about the Lord, and God has been
faithful in pairing up students to leaders who share something in common, and
then sparking fruitful conversations. I can’t wait to see what else God is
going to do in our remaining couple of days. Please keep these kids in your
prayers, and for strength in our team members ;) See you all in a couple days!
