Teen Missions

Nine of our kids (including Ma and Pa's grandchildren) headed off to Teen Missions last week. For those of you who don't know, Teen Missions is a summer missions camp. First the children spend 10 days at Boot Camp where they'll have classes on evangelism, puppets, drama, singing, construction, and biblical teachings. They'll sleep in tents and run an obstacle course every day. They have to learn 40 memory verses and have a 30 minute personal devotional time. They have a big rally every night which is always a lot of fun.

Then they head out in teams to different villages to put in practice all that they've learned. They'll be gone for  total of five weeks. It's not always easy but it's usually a life changing experience. Please keep these children in your prayers that they have a great time and their walk with Jesus becomes stronger and that this time will ignite a passion for missions in their hearts. Also keep Ma and Pa in your prayers as when the older kid's leave they have a lot more on their plates even though there are less kids. The older children are a big help with the little ones and do lots of the odd jobs around the Children's Home.

Jake will be speaking at Boot Camp rally tomorrow night, please pray that he'll be lead by the Spirit and lives will be changed for the glory of God.

Cidoni, Mirander, Aruna, Mary, Joel, Blessing, Joseph, Kari, and Rodine all set to go! 

And their off! They were so excited!
