We've just arrived home from summer kids' camp, exhausted, yet excited. The week has been fantastic. The weather was baking hot -- up into the 40's some days, but thankfully we had the swimming pool to cool down a bit. There were 60 kids there, and it was great to see seven of them from our village. We even managed to see both Spain matches during the camp.
What made the camp special for me was the group of boys that I was with. Each night they all offered to pray. There was no holding them back.
At the start of the week one of the boys explained that he believed that Jesus was a good man, but JUST that -- nothing more, nothing less. We talked a bit about some of the miracles that Jesus performed, as proof that he was God. A few nights later, we read the story of Jesus healing the blind man. When we came to pray he asked God to heal him, after falling earlier in the day and hurting his back! What a change. And what a privilege to plant seeds of faith in these lives, and see them growing each day. Faith comes from hearing. And oh yes, the next day his back was better, and he was up and about as normal.
