VBS CAMP - PART 1

"God created me!" Drawings

I love this one...

and this one!!!

We just finished our 2nd full day of Vacation Bible Camp.  We are busy, busy, busy... so, I will have to make this quick.

Our short-term team from Colorado arrived safely and is, to say the least, amazing!!!  

The Bible camp is going well - what a joy to serve!!!

Here are the latest prayer points:

• Health - A nasty cold is going around.  Abbi is not feeling great, some of our American short-termers are feeling physically down and our Didinga translator is feeling weak.  Pray for renewed strength.   
• Weather - The weather has been sunny and warm - absolutely beautiful!  Though we are technically in the middle of rainy season, it has not rained for more than three weeks!!!  We thank God for His provision in regards to the weather, but also do pray for the rain to return this weekend (while the camp is not in session).  Crops are getting quite dry.
• Teaching - Pray that we would teach with authority and Christ's love.  Pray that God would equip each and every one of us with culturally relevant illustrations/examples which bring God's Word to life, so that each camper would truly grasp a hold of the truth.
• Pray that we as "teachers", despite the craziness of the camp schedule,  would live in communion with Christ - taking time for individual pray and devotion to the Father.

Got to run,

Their coming...

Please pray for: Nicole, Amber, Ellanah, Ethan, David and Tim, our VBS short-term team, as they begin their almost three day series of flights to Nagishot, South Sudan tonight!!!

Pray that: · 

• Their flights would all be on time. · 
• They will be able to rest on the plane and not be too weighed down by jet-leg. · 
• That all the details would go smoothly. · 
• Their families back home would not be too worried or concerned for their new missionaries! · 
• This trip would be full of growth, learning and fruit for all who are involved. · 
• Our team would work as one in the Spirit. ·
• For spiritual, physical, emotional... 

and perhaps, mental health!!!

Thanks - and we'll be sure to keep you posted as the camps get started.

Two Weeks and Counting VBS Prayer Points

Progress on our Didinga VBS camps is going well and with only two weeks until go day, excitement is in the air!

The curriculum and logistics seem to be coming together well, we thank God for that.  Here are some more ways that you can pray:

Weather: Nagishot weather is unpredictable.  This week we have enjoyed beautiful spring-like temperatures, but last week we waded through torrential downpours.  We continue to pray for fair skies throughout the VBS camps. 

April showers have indeed brought May flowers to Nagishot, South Sudan!

Curriculum:  Our Colorado short-term team has been a major help in creating a workable VBS curriculum.  Please continue to pray for us all as we complete the remaining lessons.

Camp National Workers:  This Tuesday evening we will have our first National VBS team meeting.  Please pray for enthusiastic National participation.  Pray too that we would all be united as we minister to the youth here in Didinga

Campers:  Right now we have absolutely no idea how many campers will actually come to camp each day.  We are hoping to have several registration days, yet even with this planning in place it will still be hard to predict actual camp numbers.  Please continue to pray that God would send those children who are ready to hear and receive His Good News.

Short-term Team: Our team will be arriving in Nairobi, Kenya in ten short days!!!  Please pray that everything would go smoothly (flights, visas, health, last minutes preparations…).  Across the pond logistics (with little to no internet access) has not been easy task, but we know that God is in control.

Thank you for being a vital part of our team!!!
