— Praise God that although it was forecast to rain again, God gave brought sunshine just when it was time to break up into small groups. We were able to be outside the entire day and the weather has been perfect! Please continue to pray for these last two days to be free of rain.

— We continue to have more disciplinary issues, but there has been nothing extreme. We’re thankful that after a simple face to face talk we’re able to solve the issues that have arisen with some of the campers. As we near the end of camp and kids are fatigued, it is always tempting for some of the kids to begin drifting toward making trouble. Please continue to pray for wisdom as we see to correct them in a way that they know our love for them.

— Please pray for the team serving as the days are very long and mentally and physically strenuous. Pray for great rest and full recovery for a new day.

— Praise God that our camp continues to be free from serious injuries. With 106 kids running around, we recognize that this is God’s grace and protection. Please pray for Erika and Dávid who came down with fevers and sore throats.

— As we near the end of VBS, please pray for those kids (especially the preteens) attending that understand the Gospel and are a point of decision. Please pray for God to draw them to Himself and that their lives would be transformed as they put their faith in Jesus.

— Please pray for Timi tomorrow who will be teaching on forgiving others as God has forgiven us in Christ. Many of these kids are from non-religious families that continue to believe bitterness and payback are normal. Kids in preschools here are taught to hit back when they are hit. The teacher will take the hand of the child and make them hit another child that has offended them. Pray that the truth of God’s word may help them to see how much they have been forgiven by Jesus and to extend the same mercy toward others.
