A typical day starts with breakfast, choir rehearsal, music workshop one of two, lunch, afternoon sports program (today is the Survival Challenge), the second music workshop, dinner, evening evangelistic program with music, message and small group discussions. The day is topped off with a special event highlighting different cultures. A couple of nights ago we had Colorado night that included cowboy hats, bandanas, line dancing, a Wild West shoutout, photo booth and beef jerky.
Many of the students come from broken homes. Slovakia is a country who's history has included communist oppression and therefore has been atheistic over the past century. Kids come to camp to connect to something they know and love- music. They also get to hear about and incredible God who loves them very much. A good number of these students have been connected to the Fusion ministry that happens throughout the year and they are challenged to invite friends to camp.
Last night we prayed specifically for a student who has been seeking truth and talking to a lot of the Christian leadership with the Fusion Ministry. We heard this morning that she finally came to a point where she is placing her trust in Jesus Christ. Praise God! There are other students wrestling with issues and seeking an answer for their lives. Many seem on the cusp of placing their trust in Christ. Please continue praying for the camp and the students who are here. As a matter of fact, the camp theme is "You are Here" using a map to find a reference point for where we are and where we are headed- in our relationships, families and eternity.
The team is doing well as expected for an exhausting experience. Everyone is giving their all and building relationships, leading workshops and serving those here leading this ministry. Continue to pray for our health and energy as we are about halfway through the camp.
