Well we made it through day 2 of camp - today there were 80 kids there!!! Can you believe it? We now have 92 kids enrolled!!! What a praise to the goodness of the Lord.
Today went a lot smoother than yesterday simply because we were all prepared for the large numbers where as yesterday we were a little caught off guard. It was nice to just sort of sit back and watch the kids learning and playing. So many of them come from homes that are not fun or happy and this gives them a chance to get away.
One girl I met today is in a foster home - well actually she just got to the foster home last night. She was so scared when she came in. I was encouraging her and letting her know how much fun she would have when all the sudden she said "My mommy was taken to jail yesterday" and then her eyes filled with tears. How heart breaking!!! I pray that this week we can show her that Jesus loves her and He is NOT going to leave her.
As the week continues please pray for more opportunities to talk with the kids and to get to know them better. Also, please pray for all the workers, us included, to have renewed physical energy. It is wonderful but exhausting to work with the kids. We are so excited to see how the Lord will continue to work this week.
