Hey Guys!

Hey Guys!

Well, it's been a week since our last blog. We were finishing-up a few construction projects and then we had a 4 day camp that just ended yesterday. The projects got finished and camp went great. Thanks to everyone who supports us and who pray for us, because it was because of you that we were able to do everything we did this past week (and the past 5 months we've been here). The camp that was here consisted of 3 different churches (combined) that spent Carnival Weekend with us. It allowed us to connect with 3 more churches and pastors that are wanting to partner with us as we reach the children in their particular villages with the Gospel. I'll post more specific stuff on just how we'll be doing that as things progress.

One little side note on the camp though... one of the things we feel strongly about is that we're to provide our camp to kids from the slums and orphanages at no cost. That's right... absolutely free. And we're able to do that because of our generous supporters. Well, one of the churches that came this weekend brought 5 kids from the slums near their church and they were able to stay for the entire 4 days and be ministered to (for free, thanks guys!). When we were talking to the pastor that brought them they pointed out one of the little boys and said, "you see that boy? His mother is the called the Queen of Cocaine in our village." She's one of the main dealers and her son was with us for 4 days being exposed to the Gospel and being loved on by Christ Followers. What a privilege and an honor. As tough as it is here, that kind of stuff makes it worth it for sure.

That's it for today, we're trying to re-coop from the weekend and so we'll be posting regular blogs beginning tomorrow. We love you guys!

Love Ya,

Jim and MJ

PS - the pics are just a few from the weekend. The group shot is mostly of the leaders... the kids were all over the place and weren't there for the group photo: ). Imagine that... kids that won't sit still? That's weird. lol!
