Above: Éva taught about Elijah’s challenge to the 450 prophets of Baal and the end result of people recognizing who the one true God is. The kids were very engaged as Éva drew various parts of the story. Because of the conversations that came up yesterday with kids in our camp who have participated in occult activity, Éva and Dezső brought this historic account into practical terms today. This gave them an opportunity to reveal God’s perspective of the evil in occult activities and His warnings to not participate in them. There was also more opportunity in Éva’s small group to talk about the subject,. One camper began sharing about her belief in having many past lives and knowing details about them. This gave Éva an opportunity to share what the Bible teaches about life... that we live once and then comes judgment. She was able to share about Jesus’ teaching that He was the only way to heaven and that there was no other.

Above: Robin was one of the kids in the morning who gave a very clear summary of what we learned yesterday in our small groups. His teacher shared that he has been asking questions about Jesus’ birth and the eternality of God. He is really seeking to know more about God and clearly understands about God’s forgiveness and our need to ask for forgiveness when we sin.

Above: At game time the kids had to find various keys to unlock a treasure box, but only one key would work. This was used as an object lesson as well relating back to our theme verse of the day: Isaiah 45:5: “I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God”

Praises:

• With a few slight adjustments and face to face talks with a few kids, the teens had a much better day!

• Dezső and Éva were able to bring teaching from God’s word that applied to the dangers of the kids who are involved in the occult.

• Allen is doing better and discovered the source of his allergy attack (long grass/weeds irritating his legs on a walk back from taking kids to play soccer).

• The team seemed refreshed and ready for a new day. We had a good night’s sleep.

Prayer Requests:

• Please continue to pray for the teens (some of whom are clearly opening up and becoming more interested).

• Pray for small group times to be led by God’s Spirit and that God would use His word to draw reveal truth to these children and draw them to Himself.
