"How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!"

children's camp... nov. 21 - 25

I love camp ministry. It is such an evident example of how each part of the body of Christ can work together to make something so beautiful and perfect. Each person's contribution is valuable to the overall program.

This week we spent 3 days and 4 nights with kids from all over Guatemala enjoying the sunshine, swimming in the pool, playing games, and learning about Jesus. The kids were excited and full of energy, and the staff did an excellent job of keeping up!

The week started with several choreographed performances by the “Sonrisas” in addition to a clear presentation of the gospel. We had a slumber party one night where everyone wore their pajamas, played games in the auditorium, had a pillow fight, and ended the evening with the movie, “A Bug's Life.” Another night we had a camp fire, and Oswal forgot the marshmallows :( Our last evening was cowboy night, and we enjoyed a delicious dinner of meat and mashed potatoes, and the kids received their awards for games and the winning team.
