FCA Camp 2011

Team huddle to work out their strategy.

We began our camp of 45 kids on Monday and have not stopped singing and dancing since. We split the kids up into 4 teams with two team leaders in each group. We also had three young men from one of the local high schools that have started a sports ministry team at their local church join us for the week long camp. Each one of these we put with one of the teams so that any translation issues could be addressed. What a blessing it was to have these young men around to help us. We had the Rhinos, Lions, Sharks, and Cheetahs. We began the day with calisthenics around 730 followed by quite time where we encouraged the kids to really spend time one on one with God. We ate breakfast around 830 then it was off to the fields and a day filled with sports and devotionals. The kids were so responsive to the lessons about John 15 and how we as the branches must stay constantly connected to the vine. We have a few children that actually accepted Christ and some that rededicated their lives to Him. The highlights of the camp where the testimonies that we were able to share with the kids from our own personal stories. The emotions and tears that were shared where very genuine. The experience was one that we will not soon forget and one that has forever changed our lives. We will continue to update and share pictures as we get the chance. Continue to pray for us and the calling that God has placed on each of our hearts.
