First time boys camp Week 5

So this week is all first time campers. From the assessment of them in their homes we have a very intelligent difficult group of young men coming. So, as usual, first three are my boys.
Campers:
Gabriel
David
Carlos
Thomas
Jason
Carlos
Diego
Marcus
Osvaldo
Eugene
Darren
Jordan

Keep pray for our staff. Apparently, as it seems, this group of boys are more intelligent collectively than the whole staff are put together. They all do very well in sciences and gifted classes at school. The majority of their problems lay at home. Also 5 of our staffers will be working VBS at Immanuel Baptist Church during the mornings, myself included but only on Monday cause the girl who is supposed is not going to be here in time to go tomorrow, so I am taking her place. Keep praying for us, and keep praying for the kids. Love you guys. Romans 10:14-15

Results of Girls Reunion Camp

So this week I was in the bunk house, as I mentioned before. It was pretty amazing, I love my girls and I miss them so much. We had a wonderful week and the girls were really responsive to what we were teaching. We took them to them mountains we hiked and had a picnic lunch. Then we played Sardines in the woods, it was great and the girls had so much fun. After that we cooked hot-dogs over a camp fire and had smores. One of the really amazing things we learned about while they were here( I say "we" cause I didn't know it before) was Laminin. If you don't know what that is google images it. Seriously if I get time sometime this summer I will write a blog about it and show you a pic. It is awesome how God made it to attatche every molecule of our body together. BTW, the video I learned this off of was How Great Is Our God by Louie Gigleo. If you ever get a chance watch it. Also when I say I am in the bunk house I mean I am always with the kids, 24/7, no breaks, I seriously went oevr 32 hours without a break. It was exhausting but I can't wait to do it again! Keep praying for me and for our staff. Love y'all, blessings!

Ok, wrong campers!

So in the last 12 hours after getting the list of camper's names we have found out that three of them will not be comeing this week but we have found three replacement campers. So instead of haveing the second Asley we have Jordan, instead of Rebecca we have Katlyn, instead of Racheal we have Brianna. There is the fixed list. It doesn't change who I have in the bunk house or in my Bible Study, I still have Alieza, Britany, and Sabriena. Keep praying!

Campers Week Three (Reunion Camp)

This week is a reunion camp, that basically means they have been here before. Sometimes they are older, even in high school, but this week we have 10 to 13 year-olds. So here are our campers

Joel
Bobby
Isaiah
Joseph
Zackery
Santiago
Wyatt
Bryan
Patrick
Chris
Dallas
Anthony

Please pray that their hearts be opened to the things God wills for them to hear, and that the staff will be given the things we need to say and that we are focused solely on them. Pray that the Spirit of God flows through us so that these kids can feel the presence of Christ in us. Thank you so much for your support on this mission trip. I appreciate it more than you can imagine.

Results of the second week!

This past week we had one girl that we know of for sure that accepted Christ, Kaylie. We have had many of them asking good questions and seeking the Lord. I pray that they go back to their churches and ask more questions. I pray that we have deeply planted a seed in these girls life. I got so close to them even though I was not in the bunk house with them. I love them to death and today i even got a letter from one of my Bible Study girls who had been seeking to know more about God. I pray that through writing her I am able to help her understand a little more. Keep praying for these girls, you fall in love with the kids in such a short time and you don't want to have to send them home cause you know what they are going to go though. Pray for our staff also. We need to remain unified and Satan is trying every which way to get to us.

After Camp Week One

So week one is over. I am trying to find out who all was saved this week cause we haven't turned in the reports yet. I know that Manuel, Luis, Chris, Dezmin, and Joseph were saved, PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!! I am overjoyed! We had a wonderful week, most everything went well. Thankfully, I did well in archery. I didn't get shot and the kids did really well. I was afraid that I was going to have to lead the archery myself next week because our adult leader is not going to be here, she is going on vacation. So I have been trying my best to pay attention to what she does and then on Thursday she comes and tells me that Mr. Isaias, who has assisted before is going to come and help me. Thank you Lord!

Week Two Campers (Girls)

Please pray for the campers this week. We had 4 or 5 saved last week. I will not (I don't think) be in the bunk house this week, but I will be doing a lot in the Bible Studies.
This week the campers are:
Alicia
Alyssa
Rebecca
Kaylie
Koralie
Victoria
Lauren
Kianna
Amelia
Cassandra
Brittany
Delilah
The staffers are the same but now we have Isaias as the leader for archery for this week.

Please pray for the girls, that their hearts will be open to what we have to say. And please pray that the staff will be unified and radiate the fire of the gospel in everything we do and say. Thank you all for your support!

Praise!!!!!!

We just found out tonight that Walmart has donated $50,000 to the camp. We will now be able to build the high and low rope courses they have been dreaming of building for a while. This comes as a answer to prayers! Friday Mr. Albert asked us as staffers to pray as a group for the camp. They are planning on building another dorm room and they had to get a permit and they have been waiting on the architect to contact them to let them know that they have a permit, by Sunday morning the architect had called! God answers prayers!!!!!!  Romans 10:14-15
