Sunday

Today was a change in the schedule for Sunday. We take the whole camp to Black Forest Christian Fellowship for the morning service. Picture 6 rickety vans in formation descending on your church bearing 30 or so kids and 15 of so people who are living for a time in a strange land. Oh, then multiply that by 3 (te number of camps running in this area). What kind of an impact would that have on your Sunday morning service? What kind of an impact would your Sunday morning service have on such a group? BFCF has been very intentional this summer about making the service a good fit for these peculiar circumstances - we really appreciate the good efforts of all involved.

The weather was not good enough for the pool so we made a switch. Instead of taking the afternoon off of English classes we ran them so that on the first clear hot day we could skip it and spend the time at the pool. Flexibility on the part of staff is so beneficial to making this run - we've got a great team. After classes Hannah organized an Ultimate Frisbee tournament among our four sub-teams of campers. We had to cut it only a tad short due to another of the local menacing thunderstorms loomed over the field.

Tonight's message was on the Truth part of John 14:6 - good stuff. Pray that truth would be easily approached and understood by our campers. Pray also for the ones who are in the "testing" phase - resistant to the rules and basic trust necessary to run camp well - as ever we know we're in a battle so help us out with your prayers.
