Monday

Thanks for the comments and being a part of our adventure. It is encouraging to know we have support coming from home.

Last night (Sunday night) was a fairly early night. We ate dinner around 6:00 and then had our meeting. Each night Packy leads us in worship, we spend some time studying 2 Timothy, and play a game. We are broken up into 4 teams. After the meeting a group of us decided to go downtown for some icecream and got caught in a HUGE storm. As we ran through the city, trying to get to the bus stop, we got drenched! Katy's hamburger even flew out of her bag we were running so fast. Fun memories and stories to tell!

We had our first morning of English camps and everything went great! We had almost 50 students at the middle school. (I will let you know about the high school tomorrow.) The students are pretty quiet on the first day so hopefully as they become more comfortable, conversations can develop! The teaching teams were very prepared and had fun activities to teach the students.

After the camps this morning we took the bus back to the hotel to eat lunch. We have a few hours to prepare and rest before the adult English and sports camp tonight. We are hoping for a good turnout so that there will be many opportunities to spend time with people to share the Gospel.

Here are pictures from the Middle School team. Hopefully tomorrow we will have some from the high school.




















Shay preached out of 2 Peter 3:18 on Sunday Morning. Be praying that each team member would take this verse to heart and be growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so that we would bring all glory to our God!

  2. Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures and detailed descriptions of your daily adventures. We feel like we are there with you...and we are in our hearts.

    Many people at Sandy Ridge Baptist Church in Hickory, NC are praying for you, as we do, also many times a day. We pray for your safety and good health, and that many of the Slovaks will accept Jesus as Savior.

    Charity and Jason, we miss you and love you very much!

    Rose Ann and Donnie, we miss you and love you two very much, too!

    We send love to all of you on the team as our brothers and sisters in Christ.
