We have had an absolutely amazing youth camp. Doug has been sweating off 20 pounds playing Football (Soccer) with the kids and tonight he completely acted out the story of Jonah to the children at the Children’s Home. It was quite a show. Joe has been turning his years of Crown Ministry training into a Kenya relative message that teaches the glory of God through our work ethic. Karen has created a special bond with one of the Kenyan interpreters named Ruth. PS, she is an amazing Frisbee player. Tammy got to visit with Jen today and she sends her love to Linda and Liz. Cosmos misses all the teams from the past mentioning all of you by name. Kyoko and Kelly made bead necklaces with the children in the Children’s Home and they went absolutely crazy over this simple gift. Kyoko and Kelly are wondering if they are saved anymore because Kelly has a lip ring and Kyoko wears an anklet (they are still learning the culture). Tomorrow we finish up our teaching, which is going to be a nice conclusion after 9 times of teaching. This morning I was able to speak to the entire camp about Discipleship using many of my favorite illustrations. The Kenya students listen witch such intensity and take notes like I have never seen before. What a wonderful experience.
The youth camp is speeding by and soon we will be heading to Eldoret to visit another Empowering Lives children home. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. Nobody is sick, everyone is having huge moments of successful conversations about Christ and the team unity is strong.
