Expectations

July 3, 2012

This morning Piotr led the American and Polish leaders in a time of fellowship and prayer.  During part of this time we each shared our expectations for the upcoming weeks. Expectations included serving Him, serving children, teaching English and having fun, experiencing joy and happiness, “ recharging batteries,”  experiencing the Holy Spirit’s presence, and serving Him in any way possible. Piotr shared that he had some similar expectations, yet in the past 2 days they had changed. He shared his hope that he will be surprised by Him. We are all sure that God has the perfect plan for this camp and has great things in store!!!!

Our expectations were to have fun, joy and happiness? Yes! We experienced fun, joy and happiness through our first day of English classes, crafts, games, and worship songs!!!

English lessons included many different activities, but all classes spent time with introductions, getting to know you activities, jingo and introducing a reader’s theater for “The Lorax” which will be performed for parents.

Many campers are now wearing a new accessory as they stamped leather bracelets. Fuse beads were also a huge hit and a repeat performance has been requested!

Tonight was the first night of our yearly team competition. We played a warm up game for teams to get to know their members. Then we had a version of a relay race where teams had to put themselves in order according to height, age, and number of siblings. We don’t have the totals right now, but the green team just might be in the lead. We have Americans on 3 of the four teams so the competition could be heating up!!!

The last point of the day, but absolutely not the least important was a time of worship. Some of the campers have already said that this is their favorite part of camp.

Please pray the our excitement continues with joy and happiness as we are now in full swing of this year’s camp experience!

God bless you all!

The 2012 Poland Team
