Central 1 Update #4
My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The kids packed up their bags and cleaned the cabins this morning and we sent them on their way after a week of Kids Camp. Echo Grove Camp has been an amazing blessing. Our team joined in with the camp staff on Tuesday morning and helped with registration. We were able to meet and interact with the kids during that time and get to know them a little. A normal day of Kids Camp consisted of, meals, outdoor activities, free time, an evening program and Soul Food. Soul Food was the DVD Bible lesson, the kids loved it! We sang songs, learned Bible verses and little tips to help us remember the lesson. We had the chance to run one of the activities. We taught the kids that they are all a part of God’s plan and how the body of Christ works (1 Corinthians 12). They decorated a craft and we taught them a spanish frog song! It was a blast! The kids loved it!
During the free time, we decided that offering to teach the dance “He Reigns” would be a good idea. So we told anyone who wanted to that they could come and learn! There were about twenty kids that showed up and they loved it! We practiced really hard and then performed it on the last night at Soul Food. The audience got into it and they were clapping along with the music as we danced.
The kids left today and it was hard to leave them. But we are learning to give our all to the people we meet, just as Christ did wherever He went. We thank the Lord for every opportunity and appreciate this experience this summer.
We are leaving tomorrow from Echo Grove and will be going to Manistee, Michigan to do a VBS at that corps. Thank you for your support and prayers!God Bless You!
Carolyn, Amy E., Amy K., Breann, Ashlee and Alex. =)
