It's a bittersweet feeling. Having summer finished for another season. Stepping out onto the grounds now, we're met with silence. It's a beautiful reminder of God's love and promises. The chaos of summer is hard to describe. Our hearts are so burdened with knowing details of our campers' struggles, and as heavy as that is, there's the extreme elation when there is a breakthrough and they acknowledge Jesus' sacrifice. It's an emotional roller coaster for sure, but if there's anything in life that you can do where you Know you can make a difference in this world, it's here. I'm sure it's true of so many mission fields.
One of the things we added this summer for the kids were backpacks. With help from individuals, we purchased backpacks, flashlights, pens, journals, and bibles. Each camper got a backpack of supplies to not only help with their week here, but that they could take home. Over 300 homes in the area now have bibles in them! Thank you all that contributed. :)
