Camp Planning

Yesterday we met with Pastor Zac to continue planning the youth camp we are putting on in August. Zac is leaving for his pastors school tomorrow so this was our last chance to meet with him for a month. There is a lot to do when planning to host 50 kids! We had to make a budget for their food and lodging. Compared to camps in the US, these kids will be roughing it, but for them it will be fun. The girls will be sleeping in the church building, the boys will be sleeping in another building and we'll construct a tented area for the teaching and activities. I am really excited for this camp. I remember going to many when I was a kid and loving it. We had fun and learned about the Lord. That is what we are hoping will happen during this camp. We'll be teaching about the life of David, doing various topical seminars. Please pray for us as we work out the logistics. US camps can cost over $200 per child, but we will be able to do the whole thing for less than $20 per kid for the whole weekend. Although it's cheap, the kids are not able to contribute much. They will be asked to contribute 1000 Tanzanian shillings which is about 75 cents. And that will even be difficult for some to come up with. We won't turn any away if they can't afford it. So, we are planning by faith that the Lord will provide for all the needs. We'll keep you updated on how everything is going and would appreciate your prayers!
