The Gift of Love

It was the perfect day for Adam and Marta's wedding and we were blessed to be able to attend. They were married at the Catholic church that was just a short walk from camp, the one seen in many of our pictures from years past. While we were unable to understand the words that were spoken, the spirit of the occasion was not lost. When the ceremony was over the entire camp joined in a song to bless their marriage.


The day ended with a spirit filled time of worship. One of the campers was moved to speak at the service after hearing Marc's testimony from the previous night. She told of how she came from a family of nonbelievers and how camp has become her christian family. Life has been hard on her but now she knows that God is with her at all times if she just looks for Him. She has given her life over to Christ.

Robin was also moved to tell her testimony tonight. She spoke of spending 35 years "wandering in the desert" and hopes that her story will help others find their way to Him more quickly. Now that she has Christ in her life, she can't imagine a life without Him.

Andrej, our translator, gave tonight's message. It was amazing how he connected all of the week's themes. His message was on having trust in God to provide our needs and to lay out the best plan for our lives. God is good, all the time!

Sounds like a beautiful day. I can't believe we never walked in that church. It is incredible. Wow. How beautiful. And, how special you could be a part of such a wonderful person's memorable occasion.

Have fun shopping today! Get some r & r on the bus.

Enjoy.
