Gettin In the Groove!


Today we had another great day at sports camp and challenge circle, almost everyone has gotten the hang of it now. Every time we eat we have fun breaking up and talking to other teams and sometimes the staff or interns, they’re awesome!!! Today our team also got to wash their clothes.

It was a great evening tonight, the temperature was comfortable by New Orleans standards, and we were much more comfortable with one night under our belt. We had kids on our backs and shoulders, others did our hair and some we just threw the ball around with them. The teams then proceeded to the Challenge Circle and got “hyped” with the children. The team is working very well.

Prayer Requests:

Pray that all of us would keep having energy throughout the week.
Pray that all the kids would have a good time and learn more about God.
Pray that Cara’s knee would keep healing.
Pray for Karolyn as she is a bit under the weather.


Answered Prayer:

We had nearly 40 children show up at the Calliope Project site this evening.

All the kids had a blast
Even those who came in last
Before we knew it the day had ended
And all our energy expended
