Preperation

Hello again all. Yesterday was testing for the school and there was a great turnout. Most will make it and be put into one grade lower than what they would in the public schools here. For less than half the price of a well known school in Manilla we are able to better educate the children here. How awesome God is.
It's almost time for camp and we are well on our way to getting ready. The kitchen is set up for those cooking for the event, they will cook right next to the guard shack and sleep in the guard shack.

The outside CR (toilet) is almost complete, and the tent is being put up as I write this. We are excited for the camp to happen because there has been great warfare on our part and all around us. But we know, just like when the boat seemed to be sinking, Jesus will show up and calm the storm, encourage us to walk on water, and bring us to the other side. With that also, we will be expecting 65 youth to come...thats twice as many as we expected and planned for..."is that a ghost out there in the rain?"

Today also will be the second youth night that we will have at Freedom in Christ (FIC). It's always a blast to hang out with them and study with them as well. While some are there others will be putting the finishing touches on the CR that we have been building.

That's all for now, thank you for all of your prayers we are in desperate need of them.

65 youth sounds like a ton! How many were there last year?

So... Is there a hole under that CR? Is it permanent?

How is the retreat going? Where on earth are people sleeping?

they guys slept in the tent while the females moved in upstairs on the third floor of Shofar. We didn't have as many youth as we expected after expecting more...if you get that...but it went really well. The CR is not permanent and yes there is a hole under it.
As far as Mike in the picture..your guess is as good as mine.
