Preparing

We just learned that PROeM scheduled an extra week of camps this summer. This means that during our final week in Poland, instead of filling in the gaps around town, we'll be working at the camp. Together with Heather and Kenji, we've been working on our lessons for the English camp, where we'll each have our own class of polish kids. The camp's theme for the summer is "Cudowne Lata," which means "Wonder Years." Kids will learn about the miracles of Jesus.

Heather had a great idea: let's incorporate the camp theme into our lessons. Each day of the week, our english classes will focus on a different miracle of Jesus. For example, on Monday we'll focus on Jesus calming the storm (Matt 8:23-27). The kids will learn words like storm, boat, waves, disciple, afraid, and so on.

Thank you, prayer team, for lifting us up during this time of preparation. Our support is currently at 27.5% ($1100 of our $4000 goal). We have a ways to go, and only a few weeks in which to get there, so if you are planning to give financially, would you please let us know?

Here's how you can pray for us right now:
  • Please pray for our financial support. God has always provided and we are confident that he will continue to do so.
  • Please pray for our hearts as we prepare. It's easy to worry at this point; we'd rather focus on our relationships with Christ and pursue his heart for Poland, than worry about things beyond our control (such as how we'll survive the long flight with David, jet lag, etc.).
  • Please pray for PROeM. This year's camps are already underway. In fact, right now, their most popular camp, "Fishart," is taking place. Over 180 campers are there as we write!

  1. Wow! What a fun camp theme! And I love how you're going to be bringing the theme into the English lessons. I'm so glad you all are going back this year!
