Tuesday- First Day of Kids Camp


This morning for breakfast we had baked oatmeal and tapioca pancakes which got quite an interesting response from the group. Later we went to chapel here at the Seminary and tried out the new sound system for the first time and was very pleased with the end result and the music professor was very impressed. Some of the Brazilian students sang a song for special music which they had written themselves and was very beautiful! We also sang Shine On Us and Pastor Gene preached a message on Holiness. We then ate a (semi) quick lunch and headed off to the children's camp. There was a very good turn out, we had about 45-50 kids. During the puppet show the alarm to the school went off not once but twice! But all ended well and we got everything worked out. After singing some songs one group of children went to a classroom and worked on the Ten Commandments and memory verses and the other group went to work on crafts. The craft for today was the wordless bracelets. We played some Awana games which the kids really enjoyed! We had a missionary story and after that seven kids went back to make a decision! Six of those seven kids received Jesus Christ as the Savior! Praise the Lord! We are praying for the seventh child that he would come to know Jesus as well. After the camp we went back to the Seminary for a prayer meeting where the people pray for different missions around the world. Six of us shared about the different countries we had been to and where the was a need for missionaries and for God. Now its time for a Missionary moment and then bed. Goodnight!
