Brazil Camp Update- Pete & Jodi

Hello again everyone,

Just wanted to fill you in on how Camp is going and to thank you for your prayers!

It has been a fun filled, energy depleting time! Waking up early, playing hard, eating (of course J), bible studies and getting to bed VERY late has been the order of our days. Everyone is having a good time and three teens, in particular, have had deep, convicting encounters with God- Praise the Lord!

The rain let up on Sunday allowing us to enjoy even more water type games without freezing in the cool rain. So, we thank you for praying!

The biggest obstacle in Camp is the sleeping and eating arrangements. Our own living room is a girls “Cabin” holding 15 girls! It’s been wall-to-wall mattresses. What makes that even more incredible is that they ALL have to share the same bathroom J The living room in the other house “cabin” is holding around 18 and a very small guest room is holding another 8 girls/women. As for the boys…..between three small rooms we’ve got about 20 cozily crammed in. Since we could not fit all the boys in the rooms available there are about 10 of them sleeping in the open-air church area. Our space is very, very limited, even for sufficient eating areas where everyone can sit down at the same time. We look forward with faith for a new building (warehouse) where all these events, activities, and church can be held.

Continue to pray for conviction, repentance, and salvation! Pray that the Holy Spirit will penetrate into hardened hearts where darkness reigns!

No one has been seriously hurt, for which we are thankful, but many have slipped, slid and kerplopped on the ground in the slick mud J

Blessings to you all,

Pete, Jodi and team
