Today started out really hot and then it rained. . .and it got hotter. It was another good day at day camp even though the numbers were down a little bit; all the kids had a lot of fun. We taught them about David and Goliath and made snowflakes in crafts. Day camp ended today with the kids not wanting to leave.
This evening we headed out to go to challenge circle*. When we got out of the vans not many children were there. It didn’t take long for them to show up. We played four square, tossed balls around and we colored the sidewalk with chalk. We started challenge circle with the football toss and all the kids really loved it and finished with a all team relay. After challenge circle we got out water balloons and launched them with a sling shot all the kids went crazy. Many of the team members put the kids on their shoulders to try and get hit by more balloons. So at the end of day everyone was happy and sad we had to leave.
Prayer Requests
Kids at day camp and challenge circle would continue to cooperate.
As the days are winding down that we would have energy to finish and the kids would want to talk about Jesus.
We could keep this mindset when we go home and apply it at home.
Answered Prayers:
The rain didn’t hinder any of our activities at Day Camp or Challenge Circle
Karolyn (Our Female Youth Leader) is feeling much better.
Our Poem. . .
Today we woke with our energy drained
And right before lunch it rained and rained
And even though our voices are hoarse We keep on yelling to finish the course

Hi Dana and the team, Sounds like you have had a thrilling and exhausting time so far. Praise God for answered prayer and planted seeds. Enjoy your last day of ministry and safe travel. Love Laurie
hey everybody- keep that energy level HIGH for the kids!! i'll be praying that you all can keep up your strength for the last two days, and that some of you may have the opportunity to talk about God with a few of the kids. Did you guys make it to the Grand Old Creamery by any chance?
Hey Team, We've been following the blog while we were up north, but couldn't send a comment from the cell phone/internet connection. Sounds like it's a great week. I have been praying daily and specifically for the team and trust that the Lord is using each of you to touch the people of New Orleans. Have fun, stay as cool as you can and come back safely!
Nancy Z.
