Berlin Trip Days 5 and 6

Things are continuing to go great for the camp.  While the lead we had for bringing in additional kids didn't pan out, we are all convinced that God brought each of the 3 kids that have been attending to this camp for a specific reason.  While it can be hard to break out of the mentality that bigger is better or that success is best measured numerically, it is necessary to realize that God does not always work on the same scale that we do.  We praise God that relationships between the CCC team and the campers continue to grow deeper with each passing day.

Marti Ogren, who is teaching the twice-daily Bible lessons, has shared with us that the kids are deeply engaged with and excited about the stories (creation, David and Goliath, etc.) that are being taught.  We suspect that for at least one of the campers this is the first time that she has heard these stories and how through them we can see God's strength and faithfulness.  Please continue to pray for each of these 3 kids that the words that are spoken will be seeds that will continue to grow in their young minds and hearts, both this week and throughout their lives.
