Thoughts from the girls regarding camp

We asked the girls to share their thoughts about camp.  Hope you enjoy!

"I learned to forgive.  Listening to the testimonies made me reflect on what I've done in the past."

"This camp was such a blessing for each one of the girls that came.  God showed us that we should forgive, like how He forgives us.  God has a plan for us and He loves us."

"This camp was such a blessing for me.  It was the first camp of girls that I've been to.  All that I learned has challenged me to share and teach others.  It was a marvelous group.  God bless you!"

"Thank you for everything.  God bless you and your families.  I carry a pretty picture of the camp and forgiveness now exists in me."

"I learned to value and accept myself how I am, to forgive all the bad things I've done.  I am now a new girl and I feel happy with God!  Thanks to God!"

"It was a wonderful experience to get to know each purpose God has for each girl.  I can also share in a closer way with others!  I also had a lot of fun!"

"Forgive.  I don't have words to express my immense thankfulness for you!  Because without thinking, you have blessed us greatly.  I thank God for angels like you!  Many of us have learned to be much closer to God.  We love you very much!"

"This camp has been a big blessing because God spoke to us.  We are all perfect because God created us, and all He creates is perfect.  We need to love ourselves how we are and be happy how we are.  We also need to forgive ourselves and the people who have hurt us."

"This camp helped set me free from the chains I have been burdened with until now and today I will start a new life!"

"God showed me that it was time to clean the rooms inside my house, especially one particular room that needs renovation.  And that it was time to start forgiving myself for what is inside this room.  Thank you for sponsoring this camp.  May God continue using all of you to spread His kingdom and that your life and family be blessed and surprised every day by his unfailing love.  Thank you very much!"

To every person who prayed for gave a financial gift to make this camp possible - thank you!

Where are they now? Cesy Samayoa

  Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently.  And we benefited from knowing Cesy!  For years she would translate for our special programs.  I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me.  She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women.  One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD.  Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you!  Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!

Leaving for Guatemala in less than 8 hours!

Everyone is in a mad dash to get their carryons packed and catch some sleep before we depart at 3am! You read that right, 3 am! It's going to be a long travel day. We'll depart Colfax at 3am, drive to Raleigh, fly to Miami at 6:50am and arrive in Guatemala at 1 in the afternoon. After we collect ALL of our luggage (because you guys have prayed that it all arrives:) we'll load a bus and drive 3-4 hours to Eagle's Nest Children's Home. We appreciate your prayers as the first of 50 people go to Guatemala. Our second week begins July 5th. Specific requests for this first BIG team are unity, good health, safety, and that God blesses our time with kids in churches, schools, the community and at Eagle's Nest. Check out their blog at http://www.boggsministry.com/ We hope to update you daily but we're not quite sure how the internet access will be. Thanks for your prayers:)

$40 can send a teen to camp

  Words can't express how proud we are of the youth from Adonai Church in Guatemala City.  They have worked hard to develop a discipleship and outreach program that is amazing!  In addition, they have been raising funds to attend their high school aged camp November 25-27.  They began months ago by creating banks and teaching on the importance of saving.  From there they hosted a ton of fundraisers and have been able to raise the funds for their youth group to attend camp. Now they need our help!  They would love for 25 of the older teens from their Gerona church plant to attend camp as well.  The cost is $40 per teen and we're looking for a total of $1000. If you would like to partner with the Adonai Youth and support a teen from Gerona, please follow this link.  Thank you for helping us celebrate the Adonai Youth and their hard work, while making a way for the teens in Gerona to attend camp.
