Camp 2, Day 1

Day one of camp two overall went really well. As of 4pm the day before they arrived, there were 108 kids and leaders expected to show up. When all the buses were here, there were 129 kids and leaders. Welcome to youth ministry in the DR. So lunch was 30 minutes late because we had to make extra food, but in the end all were happy, and more kids get to participate in camp and hear the Gospel. And I think our leaders brought the right bunch of kids. They caught one kid stealing a knife out of the kitchen. Someone stole another kid's flip-flops. A fight was broken up. Yet many of these kids will be attending Bible studies a week from now after accepting Christ at camp. That is the great news of redemption.

Arriving in the Rain

Once again, rain welcomed campers. San Juan Puerto Rico, about 300 miles to our East, had over nine inches of rain the day before - the second-wettest day on record. Fortunately we got off easier than that. Kids still had fun. The county fair was a big hit as always. Club was a lot of fun, and a great club talk was heard.

Enjoying the County Fair

Please pray with us that the Holy Spirit will work mightily in the lives of kids this week. Below are some pictures of them.
