Day Four

It was business as usual at Camp Come Together. Our day included English lessons, games, crafts and worship. Tonight was our first segment of the CTN News video--written, produced, directed and presented by the advanced level students and teachers. After 6 hours spent in the editing room, all enjoyed the production at the beginning of our evening worship time.

Our Olympic challenge today was the shot put--yes we packed the shot puts in our suitcases. (Water balloon shot puts that is!) The event nearly got out of hand when a water balloon fight broke out, but the English teachers prevailed and restored order with as little water shed as possible.

The afternoon activity, organized by Przemyk, was an international game of Capture the Flag. With Marc and Glen as team captains, both the English and the Polish students and teachers defended their flags with honor. Everyone had a great time running around the campus, taking prisoners and making plans to capture each team's flag. The winning team won both times.

Worship tonight was a beautiful combination of worship songs (in both Polish and English) and a moving testimony given by Marek Glodek. The Holy Spirit was certainly among us during this time together. At the end of worship time, we were able to practice a Polish song that we will sing as a surprise at Adam and Marta's wedding. The song is a blessing taken from the Revelation of John.

Thank you so much to those of you who have been adding comments and praying for us. It means so much to us to know that we are in your thoughts.

Sounds like a blessed day. Glad things are going well.

It is great to keep abreast of your daily activities. I feel like I'm at CC6 (almost) except I am sleeping in a very comfy bed which I know you are not. Not bad accommodations, by any means, at CC6, just not my comfy bed.

Be blessed tomorrow in all you.
You are in my prayers...

Thanks for the updates, praying for you to reach those hearts of those who do not yet know Him and be encouraged while He changes each of you.

It is nice to see what you are doing each day! Next year,we'll have to get the church and you set up with Skype so we can actually see your faces and "talk" with you (time difference-allowing)during a service! Wouldn't that be awesome?! I have been praying for your mission and that everyone there would experience the presence of the Holy Spirit. It seems, on every mission trip I've been on, there have always been a few "miracles" to witness. Thank you for your leaderships! Pam Carron
