Camp #2 :)

What an amazing week! I don't think I will ever stop being overwhelmed by the fact that God chose me to be a part of this ministry. Being apart of a week that brings cultures and races together as the body of Christ is beyond incredible. I had my fears going into this week--will we see the same results as we did last year? Will the team be unified? Will we make a difference? Will everything go smoothly? The list goes on and on, but as I saw the week unfold, I was reminded that God is sovereign. He takes a team from various walks of life and backgrounds and unites them in Him to make a difference for His Kingdom. Is it difficult? You better believe it! Do we have differences? That is for sure--but one thing is constant, and that is the fact that we all want these children to know Jesus in a personal and intimate way.

We had 72 kids attend the second Hidden Place camp, over 30 of them accepted Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives! Relationships were built with leaders in the community which we hope will join us in doing follow up with the kids in the coming weeks. Our mission does not stop here. There is more to do. Jesus called us to make disciples, and that is our desire. Please join us in continuing to pray for the kids that attended camp. Pray that they will continue to walk out the decision that they made a few weeks ago. Pray for the team here that we are able to develop a discipleship strategy that works and impacts the lives of these children. And please please join us in praying for the Lord to provide land. It is truly a deep need of ours to have a face in the community and a home base from which we can minister to the children of the community.

Thank you all for your support, prayers, and encouragement. A special thanks to the amazing team from the States who went above and beyond what they were asked to make this camp a reality.
