Friends and family-
We are into the second day of camp now and things are finally smoothing out. There is definitely challenges you don't expect to face (kids sneaking into camp, coaches recruiting for their team from kids not at camp, beans and rice for 17 meals straight) but as a whole, things are going really well. Our basic schedule is:
8-breakfast
9-athletic principles with fun activies (taught by my dad)
1130-lunch
1-leave for soccer fields, skills and games
5-back from games, short break
6-dinner
7-k Ubuzima (klife)
9-devos with cabin
10-bed
it is a good full day...and we are having a blast
Moving moment: yesterday, the doors to camp opened at 9. yet at 6:30 400 kids were waiting in line to get in. you can imagine when only 150 are called...the look of disappointment that the other ones experienced. I walked through the crowd a bit just to try to lift some spirits when i encountered a group 0f 10 or so girls. they said in very broken english: "big problem! they not let me in!" "didn't know had to sign list. where list?" as we closed the big metal doors they began pounding on the doors hoping maybe we would allow them in too. you can imagine how hard it was.
it was also convicting. it sent my thoughts instantly to heaven, with a different kind of gate, and a different kind of list. let our friends not be the ones saying...i didn't know how to get in, nobody ever told me!
prayer requests:
1) matt and Colin speak tonight for klife. pray for strength, and time to prepare!
2) Ryan S. has had a sick tummy. He is recovering well and will be back in the mix shortly. Pray for his and the rest of the teams health
3) Energy-we are getting tired. Pray for deep restful sleep and spurts of holy spirit energy throughout the day
4 more days! keep praying
matt and the team
