A Day at Champfleuri

Over the last week, we Americans have been beginning and growing in our relationships with the French teens. It has already become evident that God is at work here by how much participation there is in small groups and singing.

Today was the day after the hike/lake/camp out and everyone was very tired to say the least. We began our day like every other. We ate breakfast, had some free time, broke up into small groups, and then had a large group talk. When we are together in a large group we sing and it is so amazing to just hear all the voices of the French teenagers trying (and mostly succeeding) to pronounce each word that appears on the screen. It just goes to show how wide God's love goes over all the earth. It is becoming sooo much less awkward to walk up to one of the French and randomly begin a conversation, it feels like we've known each other much longer than a week.

Please keep us in your prayers as we go into our last 4-5 days with the campers, that we will be given opportunities to share Christ and answer all the questions that they may have. Pray that we have courage to answer the questions and not to fear the possibility of failure. Lastly please pray that we all will have the physical strength to make it through (especially the counselors) because everyday is very fun-filled but exhausting. Love you fam and see you in a week!

For His Glory,
