Yesterday was our second full day of camp. It was so long and busy that we’re only now getting a chance to post this update – sorry, guys! The day, however, was great. It was our first day doing our prepared crafts with the kids, which was a lot of fun. Rec was great – we took the youngest two groups out of the rotation and they played with Brigette and Natasha for the whole hour, so the other games went a lot smoother. Radooga bought a cake for the counselors to show them how much we appreciate them letting us be here, and they were so ecstatic that we earned a LOT more trust from them. During the evening program, we got to share the name of Jesus with them and, although we still can’t do an altar call, they were told that if they had questions about Christ or wanted to talk to someone about Him that they should come to anyone on our team. This was an awesome step for us, so pray hard that these kids will receive the message and before we leave on Tuesday, at least some of them will be able to find the love of Christ.
Once we got back to the camp we’re living at, we had a team worship service, which was wonderful. It was in Ukrainian but there were a few songs we recognized that had been translated from English. It was inspiring to hear worship in another language and to see the full picture of how universal the body of Christ really is.
