We just finished day 3 of camp! We are tired, but doing well.
The team is doing an awesome job of teaching English, connecting with new students, planning creative games, leading different activities, etc.
It's been really hot here, but even so, we have had soccer and volleyball tournaments in the afternoons, as well as water fights.
All of these games, sport tournaments, dancing, etc is a way for us to build relationships and have shared experiences with these Czech students. The community and atmosphere that happens at camp is rare in many Czechs' lives- and we hear over and over again that this is the reason students come back to camp.
We know this is of the Lord- and we continue to pray that the love and acceptance they experience from us would point to Him. Continue to join us in praying for opportunities to share our stories, how the Gospel is changing us, the reason for our faith.
Tomorrow is hike day. Our students will have hours of conversations with Czech students as we will hike Lysa Hora, the tallest mountain in this region of Czech. Pray for strength as we hike- but also for boldness and courage as we go deeper with these students. It's a critical point of camp!
You can also be praying for Justin, Ben and Hannah as they are giving the evening talks. Hannah did an incredible job tonight- and we are excited for Ben to speak tomorrow. Nathan will be sharing his testimony tomorrow as well. Several of our students have also been leading devotions in the morning for all the believers at camp. You can be praying for clarity and wisdom as our students prepare, share and teach.
We would also appreciate prayers for health and energy! Tomorrow is an exhausting day- and we still have a lot ahead of us.
Thank you for standing with us and asking God to draw students to Himself!
Jess (for all)
