France Team Update #6

Hey friends and family!

We can’t believe it’s already day 4 of camp, time has really flown by! Today, we had another day of English classes, sports, craft & baking workshops, talking about our Lord, and lots of laughs. The English classes have been such a fun way for us to grow our relationships with the participants as well be inspired by them ourselves. I have been so in awe of the determination and joy our participants have. 

Many of our participants are on the older side with some really challenging hardships they’ve gone through, and yet they are some of the most joyous and faithful people I’ve ever seen/ talked to. 

There was one day when a man in my English class came in and the first thing he said was, “I didn’t want to come today, I was planning on not coming but the Lord refreshes my soul so I am here and I am happy.” Truly the Lord is so at work here. 

After our day at camp flew by, we had the opportunity to go to a city called Colmar. Our team, as well as a few others from the camp, walked around taking in the beauty of the city. After some time walking, and taking pictures, we headed a little bit outside of town to get dinner all together at a French buffet.

Thank you for all the prayers thus far! As tomorrow is our last day so we ask that you pray for the last day of camp and the talent show in the evening, as well as pray for us to use the connections we have made for God’s glory.
