Above: Julika explaining the meaning of Palm Sunday. In the midst of today's teaching, one of the children asked, "How does Ben know all the answers." Julika explained that his parents read the Bible with him at home. Another child said, "I don't have any books about God at home." It was clear that he had a desire to know more, but no opportunity. We praise God for sending us to give him that opportunity. When he returns home from this camp, he will now have a Bible to read at home.

Above: After returning to the cabin in the mountains for lunch, we finished the day with songs, games and the gospel presentation by Val (above L). She used chocolate M&Ms to illustrate how different we are on the outside, but we have a common darkness on the inside that separates us from God...sin. We were thankful for the way the children payed attention to the gospel, and hearing that one must receive the gift found in Jesus Christ rather than ignore or reject it.

One of the pre-school kids (who is related to Miki), said, "I feel something good in my heart when we sing these songs."

Above L: We were thankful for a greater sense of connectedness the children are feeling. We also praise God for giving wisdom and help with those who were extremely rebellious yesterday. Today, they responded to first warnings and enjoyed being part of games and activities rather than opposing them!

Above R: Gyöngyi, who is helping us in camp, is from the neighboring town of Selyp. She is not a christian, but interested in finding out more. Miki was encouraged to hear that Gyöngyi and Anita (another helper from Selyp) would gladly welcome and participate in a Bible study if we offered one. Anita is already saved and visits our church frequently, however it is difficult for her to walk a few miles with 4 kids to our service. Please pray for Gyöngyi and for wisdom for our focus group team as we seek God's direction in knowing what steps to take in church planting beyond Petôfibánya.

Please continue to pray for this VBS. As you can see yesterday's requests were answered. Please pray for Janka's sister Nori who has a high fever. Please continue to pray that we would have appropriate weather for camp. Pray also for our teaching about the resurrection tomorrow and the gospel presentation. Pray that God would give these children understanding and draw them to Himself. Pray that He might use us to display His love.
