Another full, busy day at Kid’s Camp! Much of the same activities today as yesterday. It is so awesome to listen to these children praise Jesus with their voices and their actions. Keep praying for these kids to hear Jesus calling them into a journey of faith.

Another full day at Children’s Camp. The kids sang awesome praises to Jesus and listened so attentively in both this morning and tonight’s chapel. The Bible story is about Queen Esther today and the kids are excited to hear the conclusion in the morning.

The fishing has been really good all week. The catfish was 9 lbs.

Tonight after chapel we had a special guest from Olivet Nazarene University, May. Mackenzie and Toby the Tiger.

Becky and I even got in a little 9 square today.

The activities will end with s’mores around the camp fire.
