The very critical first day has gone well.
Please
pray for the many French students that came today (it is really quite a day for
them as well ... being tossed into an English speaking environment) where they
don't know many ... and for God's blessing in allowing relationships to take
shape in a hurry.
Our students are proving that they got the message of all of our preparation ... and it applies to all our lives. Intentional service to God and others.
Also, please pray for these first few days. The French are not used to speaking English, so we are often left out of conversations at the meal table (do you know that we have a rule that only 2 of the Philly team are allowed at any one table?) or in the dorm room (each G3 High Schooler is in a room with 3 or 4 French campers ... actually Jeremy has a couple solid English speakers in his room). In the past, God has always been faithful that this naturally comes around, but it is always an awkward couple of days. There is also a joy in meeting new people and having such opportunity to serve.
Through your prayers and by God's grace we are working our way into the French teens lives, even at this early stage. Please continue to pray that hearts would be open and that the Holy Spirit would speak and work through us. First full day of camp tomorrow!
Bon Nuit, Jim
