Our third camp has started


There are about 60 kids in our third camp. It's great to see such a turnout. The church we’re working with visited the surrounding neighborhoods and signed up as many kids as they could. The number of kids at this camp is actually slightly higher than their average Sunday attendance. The original target was about thirty elementary students but once the word got out the enrollment doubled in the week before camp. We’re spending a lot of time modifying the curriculum to address the more advanced level of these urban kids. However, the activities need to be down graded from our middle school material to something more suitable for elementary aged students and there are no outdoor spaces in which to play field games. This has been a bit of a frustration for us as we don't have a lot of time during the evenings to put the final touches on the next day's lesson plans. For the team, Chuck

hi again, ya'll!
Let's just get it out. God is good ALL the time! I hope he is blessing this third week of camp. Keep on going strong, everyone! I'm glad to hear that all the passports worked out esp. for Mrs. Lo. I'm so excited that God is working all over the globe. Our Week 3 "say-so" is tomorrow and I'll be able to tell you how many new brothers and sisters we have in Christ's family. I'm excited to meet those two girls when we get to heaven! What a great big happy family, with a great big AWESOME God. I'm sure your students will have a great time even without field space to play in.
Love in Christ,
