English Camp - updated & after the fun :)

 Campers loved trying S'mores (an American thing), plus they love their traditional Langos (below)


  It is with JOY we can say that at least 13 campers made decisions to accept Jesus into their hearts or re-commit their lives to Jesus! All the heat, sweat, water fights, tears, laughter were well worth it!

  We had so much fun with our "O'Ranger" (orange) team! They are a great group of young people and SMART!  We still continue to pray for them and for their lives after camp.
   
 We had team scavenger hunts - quite ingenious, using "old school" maps and smart phones, including "dummy" possibilities.  I was astounded at how involved and how much fun the team was having at nearly every station.

  We were astounded and pleased with the creativity coming out as our team kept on forming ways to do things or think of things, like the picture below..





Here are part of the O'Ranger team getting ready to do some modern-day reenactments of Jesus' healings.  These were spin-offs of some of the scriptures we had been reading during Kurt's reading group time & my conversation times. God was SO good, and the fellow campers LOVED watching the skit!


So, now that camp is over, we ask for prayers for:
Camper & Staff hearts to remain receptive and tender towards  the Lord
Tini Ifi Club this week (young teens)
Larger ministry space here in Vecsés and for the Petöfibanya church as well
Endurance in very HOT weather (It has been close to or over 100 F for weeks now)
Prayers for our Vecsés team leader and family on home assignment
Fruitful meetings with "Z" and "F" and "M & M"
Prayer for our friend and evangelist, Péter, during smaller summer outreaches in Eastern Europe - for safety and good responses
Prayer for Carrie's knee  - it will need to be replaced soon unless God chooses to heal it completely; funds
Prayer for a vehicle for us to purchase and the funding to pay for it and the deductible on the surgery (if God chooses to heal through the hands of a surgeon).
Prayer for a couch/bed (queen size) for the guest room - the ones we pursue have been dead-ends.
