We are thankful to those of you who prayed for our VBS outreach and for the Children’s Camp. To tell you the truth it seems like we have been back for a year already when in actuality we have not even hit the three-week mark yet! Camp is always lots of work and lots of blessing. God blessed us with perfect summer days, a great group of counselors and an excited bunch of campers. They learned precious lessons from God’s Word, ate like they never had seen food, made new friends, and had many experiences in God’s presence. Several children accepted Christ as their Savior.
The highlights of camp included filming music videos, zooming down the water slide and having a missionary experience. The children made little wall plaques during the week (one to take home and one to give away). On Saturday the seventy campers went house-to-house in the surrounding neighborhoods giving out their presents along with a Gospel tract and a special personal greeting from each camper.
It was great to have Andrew and Matthew as counselors. One night they dressed up as twins (see below).
Next week we hope to take a few days away at the beach to spend with family and friends and catch our breath after this whirlwind of activity. Then I’ll get back to you with answers to prayer and some other stories.
Love,
Paul and Becky
