(Girls paddle boating at camp)It's hard to believe that stores are putting out fall decorations already when it feels like summer weather has FINALLY come to Ontario! It actually got to be 80*F! Imagine that! =] We had beautiful weather for Camp Good News last week, while Monarch Bible Camp was a bit on the cool and rainy side. Okay, enough of my complaining and talk about the weather!
( Monarch Bible Camp)
Although our role was much different this year as supervisors for several weeks rather than directly teaching the kids, the weeks we have/are teaching kids are definite highlights despite my fighting a horribly hacking cough. We did enjoy working with our Northern Team/Family and seeing the incredible growth in each one over the past six weeks. I can't even describe the joy, struggles, boost in confidence and spiritual growth that has taken place in "our kids". As we saw the 41 CEF summer missionaries reunite for "Welcome Home" and heard their testimonies, the power of God was unmistakable. To God be the glory for the 3100 kids reached in Ontario and over 100 making decisions for Christ!
This week David and I are teaching a VBS in Severn Bridge. 11 kids came today (plus an older sister). One seven year old boy said it was the first time he's ever been in a church. One little girl referred to the lay pastor as "the manager". We are excited to see what God is going to do this week and praying the kids will stay connected with this church! David is quite sick right now, so I'm hoping he gets better so I don't have to tell all the stories the whole week. =]
