Highlights of Sports Bible Camp 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So much to be thankful about! \u00a0About 70 teenagers registered and enjoyed Sports Bible Camp! \u00a0We praise the Lord for safety among the players, good weather even with the scorching heat, and endurance for full-scheduled days!<\/p>\n

The Agutaynen believers did a great job teaching the Bible Lessons clearly. \u00a0Participation was enthusiastic! \u00a0The coaches and referees, faithfully, performed their responsibilities. On Championship Day, Gerry, an Agutaynen believer, shared the Gospel before the final games.<\/p>\n

Following Sports Bible Camp, Stephen and Ginger started the weekly kick-off of the Youth Meetings and the \u00a0Kids Bible Club. \u00a0Both were well attended!<\/p>\n

We, dearly, miss Rebekah while she is at college but she is in our hearts and prayers! \u00a0Please pray for her that she will be diligent in her studies and adjust to life challenges in a different environment. Please pray that we will progress in the language so we will be more effective in communication.<\/p>\n
