Some Further Thoughts About Camp

Since we have come back from camp, we have been processing what we went through. We have been thinking about those in attendance and the affect that it will most likely have on the church's leaders in attendance and their church's youth.

We were thinking of the limited resources that most of the youth leaders have access to - specifically biblical resources. There are few bookstores, few libraries (I have yet to see either of those), and little access to the internet. Their resources for biblical information come in limited forms. In the US, we have so many options (both good and bad, biblical and misleading). We used to take many of those things for granted. I pray that we never take them for granted again. These are blessings from God - and there are many, many others.

This camp has given the youth leaders new information and new ways to deliver information to the members of their respective churches affiliated with the Baptist Haiti Mission. The support that they receive from the Mission is extremely and eternally valuable!

The support of these churches comes in various forms. From teachings like those provided at this camp to working on vehicles. When I am working on the trucks and other vehicles, it is these churches affiliated with the mission that are being supported. The trucks deliver chairs, tables, food, equipment, supplies, etc... This is how the Lord is currently leading me to glorify Him - by fixing vehicles for the mission. God is glorified and made much of in the churches of the Baptist Haiti Mission whether it be through education camps, vehicles, or otherwise. We are so happy to be here and helping out!
