Privyet!!! I apologize for not getting a post up yesterday. The campers arrived and we have been busy since they got here around 10:00 a.m. yesterday. We have about 250 campers here that we are serving this week. We started the day with devotion and breakfast, and then we greeted campers at the front gate and by taking them through English testing to see their level of English. We had an awesome afternoon of playing with students on the camp grounds with frisbee and volleyball. Ukrainians love to play any kind of sports. We had recreation after the orientation time. Recreation had a great start, and our team leading this time went very well. After dinner, we have our first worship time. Corey, Emily, Josh, Justin, and Ryan got the blessing of starting the first worship time with "No One Like You." It Rocked!!! They did an awesome job. They are also leading in worship with other songs, and they are yielding to the spirit in such an amazing way. God is good. I preached the first message last night. I will continue speaking until Friday afternoon when camp ends. Be praying for Wednesday Night--11:00 a.m. your time--because that will be repentance night. Pray that no one will leave this place withiout knowing Jesus.

This morning the drama team did their first drama. It was about creation and the first sin of Adam and Eve. It was amazing. The message really transcended to the students. Devin then explained the drama. When he started talking it was like Jesus was standing there, and Devin was not. We were amazed at how Devin proclaimed the gospel with such clarity. They are now just beginning their first English classes. Pray that relationships begin within the classes.

On a side note we have one student who is having some minor health issues. He is fine, but it is slowing him down. His mom is here--thank goodness, but be in prayer for Paul. The whole team is doing great and serving in any capacity they can.
