Back from our last camp for the summer, and I am loving life and lovin Jesus! he did amazing things throughout this past week and a half. I am sitting back trying to put my mind around the whole things and it seems to be impossible! God was present and moving in this camp in Kuldiga in ways I can only say that I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to be apart of.
Everything from the kids, to the town, the ministry team of Kuldigas Baptist church, to the Colorado team that came, to the interns, to the weather, EVERYTHING was absolutely amazing! And I believe with all my heart that it was that way because Jesus was living and breathing through his people during this time! What a huge honor to be apart of his work!
I could tell many stories of salvation, of relationships, of God coming through in times of great need, and sooo much more. Ahhhh, where do I start to even come close to sharing how this camp and outreach went?
I don’t know if I can!
One thing that blessed my socks off was the Colorado team! There was a group of 13 high school and college aged students who come o be apart of this camp, and all I can say is that I saw Christ through them! And what is sooo exciting is that I see God moving in the hearts of young adults for the country of Latvia!!! Almost half of the team has expressed desires not just to return to Latvia but the desire to be summer interns and even possibly more! It is so cool to see God moving even where you don’t know!About the town of Kuldiga. This was our first camp there so it was defiantly fun breaking new
ground. But more than that I just sensed a great openness and joy throughout the town. Of course there is a lot of hurt and darkness, but a sense of hope that I have not felt in other towns. And the church is behind the youth, seeing them as the future church!! That is stinkin sweeeet! Even people not involved with the church were interested in what was happening this week. The second day the news paper called and asked if they could interview Paul, Lelde and myself about the camp and why we were there! What a great blessing! The next day we were on the front page! Top story of the newspaper, color picture and all!!! Kuldiga is amazing and I sense God moving in really cool ways there!
The camp its self was so fun! Of course it is one of my favorite things about being a missionary here. seeing kids just grow, and transform before your eyes. Building relationships, and just watching Christ revive these youth and give them a joy that is not of them! Ahhh, what a beautiful savior we have!
