Above: LIke clock work, God has been rolling back rain when we have our scheduled departure with the kids to walk from the local community center to the camp site in the morning. Last night, there were severe storms in close vicinity to us and we are thankful that there has been no damage to our sizable tents this whole week.



Above: Dezső and Julika began our day by sharing how other religions use various objects as a means of prayer and pointed out the obvious missing factor of a relationship with God.







Above: Once again, when it was game time, God pulled back the rain clouds and allowed them to play outside. Just as we were finished and were heading back inside for our late afternoon program, the rain clouds and severe thunder rolled in.





Above: Dezső and Miki performed a brief skit regarding our lesson on resisting temptation. When Dezső’s new heart that he received from God became marked with sin, he asked the kids, “What should I do?” We were encouraged to hear them shouting out, “You need to pray!” Dezső ends up going to Jesus to ask for forgiveness and his heart is once again cleansed and ready to stand against the enemy.

PRAISES:

• Team continues to serve with joy and love for one another. It is great to see everyone laughing with one another at the end of each day. God has granted unity and strengthened us for this outreach!
• God has truly used the weather for His purpose. We have heard absolutely no complaints about the rain from the kids and most of them have been commenting on how this has been the best camp!
• No major injuries to team or kids (from various activities throughout the day)
• Many kids have gained a clearer understanding of what Jesus taught about prayer in the Bible and the Gospel has been shared each day through various means.
• Kinga’s mom Erika dropped in at the end of the day and stood in the back as we sung our closing songs. She began weeping as she saw the kids arm and arm swaying with one another and singing songs about Jesus. Erika is the parent who showed up one day for Val’s Bible study with her husband Tamás.
• One of the parents from Miki’s group said that her teens come home and share everything that he taught in the day. She was happy that we are providing role models through this camp.
• A local newspaper has asked us to write about our reasons for holding this camp which will give us a good opportunity to introduce ourselves to the community.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

• Tomorrow is obviously one of our most important days when the parents are invited to join us. Please pray that many parents would come and that He would draw them to Himself. Pray that relationships would be built and that there would be opportunity to share the Gospel with them.
• This has been five days of intense ministry and our physical bodies are strained. Please continue to pray for good rest for us tonight and the strength to do all that God has called us to do for tomorrow. Pray also for strength and provision of help for the necessary after camp clean up.
• Continue to pray for the weather that would best suit His purpose. (We would prefer nicer weather as we have games that would work better outside and also Hungarian stew to prepare outside).
• Pray for Dezső and Val who will be leading the small group for parents.
