A recap of our trip so far…
After arriving on Sunday, we were all very excited to
welcome to kids to camp on Monday morning. It was awesome to see and build
relationships with the kids from Gerona who came to camp. We all served as counselors and partnered
with Iglesia Adonai, who planned and implemented the services.
After saying goodbye to the kids on Tuesday, we were able to
welcome a group of about thirty teens. During this time, we played games,
performed skits, and read scripture with them. They were also able to take home
bags of hygiene and health supplies.
On Wednesday, we were able to participate in a program that
the students of Casita Adonai created. We got our first glimpse of the students
we will be taking to Panajachel this Thursday morning! Afterwards, we were able
to help with construction needs in order to lay the foundation for the new
building.
We are excited to travel to Panajachel today and build
relationships with the sixth graders at Casita Adonai. We will be building
relationships with them and giving a devotional in order to prepare them for
transitioning in the fall. Please pray for us as we allow the Holy Spirit to
lead us.
