Uganda God Cares Bible Camp Day Four
Back to Camp, after hotel b/fast of pineapple, eggs, sausage, & bread. Great sharing time at Devotions by Team today.
Weather is overcast, yay,..cuts that amazing African sun,..right here on the Equator!! Served b/fast to camp kids,..roll, tea, banana. These kiddos only get 3 meals a day at Camp. Many go days without food in the bush.
Got ready for Todays's Bible lesson for kids. For Craft we will give each kid a marker & a clean white bandana. They get to decorate it anyway they want, perhaps with a theme from their lessons, which are on the Fruits of the Spirit. This is where they get very creative!!
My facilitator friend, Samuel,-who is a refugee from Congo,-has been an answer to our prayers for him. Last time I saw him he was so lullen looking, & rarely talked. He has seen more thanb you or I could even imagine. God has answered our manyt prayers. This year he has blossomed into a joyful young man. I gave him a large wuitcase and some clothes,-including 2 shirts, 2 pants, socks, & t-shirts. Thank you to all the Donors who make it possible to bless African kids.
The bandana creating was really enjoyed by the kids. Yes, pandemonium broke out now & then,..but hey,...This Is Africa!!!
Later in morning we all worshipped together with Barrett & the Band. The kids LOVE Praise & Worship time.
Classic Africa Missions Moment:
All of us walked about a mile with the entire Camp group to their soccer field,..for games. Just arriving, we heard quite a commotion. A young African asked me to come pray for a young girl who was manifesting with a demon. God gave me strength to proceed. Dave & Barrett were already there, and I joined in praying with them and the Africans for her deliverance! The whole thing seemed so surreal to us Americans,..except that I had seen this many times in my childhood in the Congo. After much prayer, she calmed down, and was able to sleep. The girl, who will remain unnamed, is a house worker for someone, and from a Muslim family,..who are also into witchcraft. God is good, and powerful over all. Later that day,..she came to Bible Camp, all cleaned up,...and, wanting to tell us 'thank you' for helping her! God is so good. She was accepted into the Camp,..fed, watered, and loved on. Neither Barrett, Dave, or myself had 'done' anything,..it was ALL GOD!!!
