The creative juices are flowing as we continue to find ways to have fun in and out of the rain. The CAMP AMAZON crew are learning to persevere and be creative in a climate that rains almost everyday. As we see kids smiling faces, begging to return, and most importantly…lives turning to Christ we know that God continues to work through this team in this first camp season.
The rainy day activities have been great as we try to balance indoor fun, rainy fun, muddy fun, and protecting the health of these remarkable kids. But it is always a joy to be able to run and play in the sun whether it be on the field, court or splashing in the water. Please pray for about 2 weeks of sun and fun at CAMP AMAZON and for the joy of the Lord to flow through these guides (coaches to us at T Bar M) as they play, work and teach these kids how to know and love God.
The kids continue to learn about how to have a relationship with God through spending these special days with their guides. You can see it in the joy they have in running up to them after each activity period for a high five and as many have started calling their guides “papito” (Daddy) or “mamita” (Mommy). I even get dubbed with the title of “Tio” (Uncle) Drew! The guides are cautious with these tender titles of affection but also have the opportunity to use them to explain a relationship with God. It also has the bonus affect of forcing our guides to reflect on their own relationship with Our Father and think about how they will teach and love their kids in the future. What a wise and loving God we have!
