Last Full Day of Bible Camp 2013
B/fast, devotions,-much rejoicing for Victory yesterday,- then to Camp. Great welcome to us, as usual.
Hung out with kids. Served rolls, tea, egg, & banana to 612 kiddos. Then readid for Bible lesson & accompanying craft time.
Beautiful Uganda morning,..Yesterday by noon the direct sun was brutally intense!! Today just as bad,...
Finished Bible lesson on Fruyits of the Spirit. Kids are tired, but good today. After Crafts, they spoent an hour writing to their US sponsors. Also, we met with 16 kids who need sponsors. I took some pictures to show in the U.S., to try to get sponsors. I was drawn to one girl who wore an Oklahome State sweatshirt all day. Linda (my fiance) and I are praying about sponsoring her.
Later we took a few Group pictures of the whole Camp and our Team. It was shot on top of what they call Prayer Hill.
Lunch was served around 12 noon. Florence, pastor Dongo's wife, then fed us a meal she had prepared just for our Mission Team. Florence is a terrific cook!
After lunch we were invited to participate in the killing of chickens for dinner that nite. Several of our Group had never seen that,-so now they have not onle seen it,..but also DONE IT!!! As for me, I took a nap. The afternoon was for Siesta, games, bathing, then dinner.
The whole camp walked again the mile to the sports field. We watched 2 soccer games. A huge rainstorm threatened to wash out dinner,..but it only sprinkled, & then tracked off to the West of camp.
I called my fiance, Linda, again for a short 3 minute conversation on the Team Phone. Little did I know her encouragement would lift and strengthen me for later that evening. (See Mission Moment below).
This being the Final night of Camp 2013, the wrapup got very, very intense in worship & praising God. Pastor Dongo, Barrett & the Band, & several others spoke Truth over the crowd of kiddos. Got to hotel late, almost 10 pm,..exhausted.
Saturday morning we went back just to say goodbye. The we waited while the kiddos were transported various places. Later 1/2 our Team went to Muzungu Village for souvenir shipping. Since many of us veterans have been there,-done that,....we went to the Olympia to pack & rest before supper.
Only 2 more days until we board KLM flights for the 20 hours long flights to Amsterdam and on to Dallas!,.....
