English Camp

This past week I had the privilege to work with these beautiful people running and teaching an English Camp for 100 local teenagers.
We taught english.
We sang and danced together.
We played basketball, baseball, & American football.
We decorated prayer journals, made picture frames & tie-dyed shirts.
We became friends.
My class and co-teacher.
Neighborhood kids have the best smiles.
Even though the week did not turn out exactly how everyone expected, God's blessing was present.

Here are just a few of the many blessings I witnessed:
  • None of us know very much french, but that never seemed to be a problem.
  • It was awesome to get to witness the unity within the team; many of us come from different states, towns, or churches and our ages cover a range of generations.
  • About 26 students came to know Jesus during the week and the students were constantly asking if we could sing the worship songs again and again.
