SOCCER CAMP DAY 5







Above: As volunteers, we were thankful for the bonding that took place over the week as kids began to treat us as family and recognized our love for them.



Above: Even small gestures were powerful to us like a hand on the shoulder, a kid using me as a punching bag, a crowd of kids gathering around and telling me about their lives. We’ll miss these kids.







Above: The final skit was powerful for the kids. The main character Sam began putting all of the armor to use in His life in a battle that involved him fending off the deceptions and lies of Satan with truths from God’s scripture that He had learned over the week. As He continued to resist the enemy by proclaiming God’s truth, an angle unexpectedly sprinted from behind the auditorium with two cream pies finishing hIm off.



Above: I was very impressed with the drama team and hope to take some of these concepts back to Hungary for use in future VBS or other camp events.







Above: Parents were invited to a barbecue after camp and participate in closing ceremonies. I enjoyed meeting a few of the kids’ parents and sharing encouraging words with them. The pastor of one supporting church involved in this camp gave a short message to the parents and kids and afterwards each child received a Bible and group photo. Many of these kids are planning on attending a Basketball Camp coming up in a few months where there will be more opportunity to build into their lives and share the message of hope in Jesus Christ.



May the Lord cause growth to those seeds which have been planted through this outreach and bless these children with an understanding of His love through Jesus Christ.

ART CAMP

While Ben and I were busy at Soccer Camp, Elianna was attending an art camp at our home church for the week.

We were so thankful for financial help that we received to be able to send Ellie to this camp and for this opportunity for Ellie who is a gifted artist. Ellie also had more time with friends she has been connecting with while in the US and we are thankful for these deepening friendships.
