Things have been coming together so nicely for Camp Gozo.   We are at full staff (YAY), we have a place booked (YAY), and I went to see it on Saturday, and its pretty cool.   Now I have an idea how to split up the girls and different ideas for activities and different supplies we will need.   Permission forms are made up and will be printed and sent out next week (YAY).   Orientation manual is made up (YAY) and just needs to be translated into Spanish.   Other then booking transportation, getting supplies, finalizing activities and the finances, we are almost ready.   I have still been living off a high since the first steps have been taking and really can’t stop thinking about activities and ideas.   I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED.   We even have a logo, which my friend Nathan designed and that I will post if I can figure it out. One verse that has been running through my head in this time of preparation is Ephesians 6:16, in addition to...

So here it is, and I can hardly contain my excitement in writing this.   Sitting praying that God gives me the words as when I am excited I have a tendency to ramble and not make sense.   So really hoping this makes sense.

After spending a year here in 2009 and then back home for a year wondering what I was going to do, I debated doing camp ministry, a...

Some not so good news, but news that is in need of prayer.   Hopefully you guys remember Laura, the 15 year old girl who went to live with her boyfriend.   Her sister told me today that she is pregnant, which unfortunately, we were expecting sooner or later as she was not using any form of protection.   So far I am the only one on staff that know this.   Her sister asked me not to tell anyone, I told her that others need to know, especially those in leadership positions.   She is not ready to tell other yet but made a deal that on Thursday we would sit down and talk to someone.   I don’t really know what this means or what role we will have in this little gifts life but prayer is needed, in every aspect for this little baby, so please please pray. Also some of you might know this as well as I sent out an email but a little boy, 6 years old, that we work with in Cazuca was hit by a bus on Saturday afternoon and he was killed.   I have...
