Currently we have just over 3000 children attending our Poor Kids Evangelistic Summer Camp, being hosted at each of our eleven churches. The Summer Camps are being held for the poorest children in our villages, children who do not normally go to school, or church, children who do not eat on a daily basis. The kids are having the time of their lives as they are playing AWANA games, learning Jesus songs, hearing bible stories, eating a meal and they are even being taught manners.
While these children are in Summer Camp, a trained prayer and ministry team is going to each and every child's house to share the "Good News about Jesus" with their parents and grandparents, and to love them and pray for them.
We have had twenty seven children give their lives to Jesus so far. Would you join us in praying for these precious children and their families?
I want to share two testimonies from a couple of the children with you. The first one is from a young boy from our Good Shepherd church in Denonville. His name is Valentino, he is 16 years old. It is the first time he has attended Summer Camp. He said that he is learning so much, he is being taught new songs, bible stories, verses and good manners. He also shared that bad people from his fathers family line had used witchcraft things on his name, causing him to have a disgust for books and school and learning. He shared that he has wept and wept. He also says that he promises to apply what he is being taught to his daily life at home and school now. He claimed that thanks to God and the church, he is doing well now. He added to Jonas to please thank Pastor Mike and the sponsors and friends for Summer Camp and the opportunity to eat and drink.
The second testimony is from a 13 year old girl named Jean. She has five sisters and two brothers. She shared that she is enjoying the good teaching and activities, and that she has good fellowship with Jesus now. When asked what she is learning, she said "They teach us that children are precious to God and they are God's blessing and his handwork. They tell us also that God's way is better than the world we have to walk in. They teach us so many biblical verses John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. I will apply them in my life and share them with my fiends and siblings." Jean shared that she doesn't have enough words to thank Pastor Mike and the sponsors for what she has learned and the good principles of daily life that she didn't know before. Jean also said that she wants to become a nurse.
I agree with Jean, we don't have enough words to thank you for coming alongside of us and the people of Haiti. We are so very thankful for your prayer support and your financial support.
Blessings, Chris
