Camp

This past week we took a walk down memory lane as we visited Prairie View Christian Camp in Kansas.  Seth figured out that he has been to this camp 15 of the last 17 years.  So needless to say there were a lot of memories.  It was a lot of fun to return here and be the missionaries for 126 5th and 6th graders.  We were able to share each night about Japan, Mustard Seed and the work that God is calling us to do.  It was amazing to see the reaction of the kids as God opened their eyes to the millions of lost people around the world--especially in Japan.  Like most people, many of these kids had never heard that there were so many people that have yet to hear the name of Jesus or the salvation he offers.  We were very touched and encouraged by the sacrificial donations these kids made to help share the gospel in Japan.

Of course the week wasn't all so serious.  We had a good time sword fighting kids with foam swords, painting finger nails (Seth on the former, Megan with the latter), smashing a can of Spam and many other camp activities.  We were also able to spend the preceding and following weekends at Seth's home church in Wichita, Countryside Christian Church.  At CCC we had the opportunity to share about MSGF with a Sunday school class.  Additionally, last Thursday we were able to meet with another large church in Wichita and discuss the possibility of support.  (Please pray that God will continue to open doors for fundraising for the express purpose of the gospel being spread in Japan.)  We spent the Fourth of July in Peabody Kansas with Seth's family and now have returned to Champaign.
