Camp - Day 9 - July 28

Day 9, the longest day of our entire trip! We were at the ministry center from 8:00am to around 9:30pm, interacting with students virtually the entire time. Though it is tiring it is also very rewarding. It is awesome to see our students connecting so well with the Hungarian students. Our teens are working with strength and energy that can only come from God!

We spent much of the day preparing for Parent Night. This was a blast! We saw some hilarious skits/musical numbers where the students were able to show off their English speaking skills. Also, Jordan shared her testimony at this event. She did a great job of clearly sharing what Christ has done in her life! (I never get tired of hearing her amazing story!) It seemed to be well received by the Hungarian students and parents alike.

After “the production” we had fellowship time with soft drinks and snacks. It was fun to see that, even after being with us for over 12 hours today, the students did not want to leave! Friendships have been formed. God has used our team to share the gospel with some kids who have never heard or understood the saving grace of our Lord and Savior. Words cannot describe the joy that is felt by seeing our hard work be used by God for his kingdom!

Thank you all for your prayers. Please continue to pray for the health of our team. Though tomorrow is the last day it would be very unpleasant to have sick people on our long journey home. Also, pray that God would continue to use our team for his glory tomorrow. Pray for boldness for our team as we only have one day left with these Hungarian teenagers.

Thanks and God bless,
Jared
