Good evening
everyone! It is currently 11:00 P.M. in
Belize (1:00 A.M. eastern time) and we are just wrapping things up for the
evening. We had another interesting
start to the day when the cooks began knocking on doors in search of the keys
to the kitchen. Once the door was
unlocked, the cooks got straight to work and prepared breakfast for
everyone. While the food was being
prepared, our campers were completing their daily devotional in their groups. We then enjoyed a good meal together before
heading into the chapel to listen to Laura’s testimony and sing a song or
two.
Following the
mini worship experience, it was off to the sports field for most where they
played different games, one of which was Ga-Ga Ball. Several of the boys and the majority of the
girls decided to take the opportunity to play board games, cards and
Twister. These games proved to be a big
hit last year and they were also enjoyed by most this year. Next we had lunch before heading back to the
chapel to watch the movie “When the Game Stands Tall”. If you have not seen this movie, you should
check it out for yourself. The remainder
of the youth devotions relate to this movie.
After the movie
was over, it was back to the sports field for soccer, volleyball, basketball
and dodgeball. We all played hard for a
couple of hours and then it was time to get ready for dinner. Our young men served the young ladies again
at dinnertime before they had the opportunity to eat. After dinner, we had an evening worship
service. To start off the evening
worship, Lil’ Mike and a few other counselors (Sarah, Brandon and Laura) led
off with a skit that brought lots of laughs.
Mike’s energy and strong outgoing personality made the skit what it
was. We will try to upload a video to
the Facebook page later.
Shelley and
Melvin then led us in several songs before Matt addressed the group. He asked the group to think about what would
happen when they died and talked about the difference in heaven and hell and
why we need to accept Christ as our personal savior. He continued on to speak a little bit about
Job and why it is important to remain faithful even through our struggles. At the conclusion of the evening worship
experience, the boys headed out to discuss an evening devotion as did the
girls. Then the boys headed off to their
dorm rooms and the girls stayed up to paint fingernails and toenails.
Our male
counselors were nice enough let several of the young girls paint fingernails
and toenails. The girls ended their evening
with a dance competition where the winner received a crown of sorts. It sounded as though they had lots of fun.
Tomorrow is the
last full day of camp. We will be running
several relays, playing sports, throwing water balloons and having an overall
good time. I have included some photos below. We will post more tomorrow evening, but we are all exhausted.
In Christ,
your Belize Mission Team
