PASSPORTkids! Camp Day 3

Last night we arrived safely at the church, unloaded the bus, said our goodbyes, and headed home. While we might have been physically exhausted from a fun week of camp, our hearts were filled from our renewed relationships with God and our wonderful camp memories.

The 3rd day of camp the campers learned about sharing Christ's presence. Our verse of the day was Acts 2:45, "They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person's need was met."

Enjoy the video of pictures from the 3rd day of camp!

Night 2 of Camp

This afternoon campers began their rotations of missions activities, swimming, and campers choice which varied from cooking, basketball, drama, and canoeing. This week our camp offering is going to an organization called Water if Life. This organization helps drill wells in Ethiopia to bring clean water to places that don't have access to water. During missions rotations the campers are learning about what it is like without clean water and how they drill wells.

Tonight after worship we had our second night party, the Ethiopian Night Market. During the market the children went on a scavenger hunt, meeting different "natives" from Ethiopian who taught the campers about their culture. The girls had a blast as they learned about how others in the world live.

More pictures to come soon...

Day 2: Morning

Our began with morning celebration where all the campers play silly games, sing songs, and hear announcements for the day. After morning celebration the campers divided up in their Bible Study groups for recreation and Bible Study.

Today's verse of the day is John 10:27, "My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me." Today the campers are learning about following God, and how the more we trust God the easier it is to follow.

Here are a few pictures from morning celebration, bible study, and recreation.
