Czech Rep - Day 6

English Camp - Wednesday

Today was day 3 of our English camp and we are halfway through this year's camp.  One day during the week a cypher (like a scavenger hunt, except with clues and some story) is organized.  The kids with their teams went around Bystrc solving different activities in order to find pieces of a radio in order to contact the outside world and resume their journey to the Olympics.  They also earned more pieces to the big map.  It is a fun day because we follow a different schedule than normal.  

It is also an opportunity to have more conversations with the kids as we go along to solve the clues.  Some of the older boys discussed with their leaders about what happens when we die and they have never considered this question before.  Many of these kids come from families that are not religious and don't have idea or knowledge of Christianity.  Sometimes gospel conversations are slow to develop or kids take time to open up.  This is why relationships are so key.  So that year after year you can go deeper and deeper until the gospel is fully understood and accepted or rejected.  Lostness is great here, but God is working in people.  

This week we have learned that one girl from the church plant youth group trusted the Lord for Salvation and is being discipled. This is a huge answer to prayer.  Continue to pray specifically that God will be able to penetrate the hearts of the kids and open their eyes to understand the gospel. Today we heard from Lukáš (Luke) about how God created the world and everything that we see.  It is written in the Bible that the sky, ground, clouds, even us, were created by Him.  It shows us the path of life and the only way to find God. Pray for these kids to hear us speak about God and His love and be open to knowing more. 

Tomorrow is our grill party at 5pm after camp.  We invite the parents to come and see what the kids have been doing.  We always prepare some program including pictures of the camp. Pray for us to connect with families in order to invite them to other activities that Runway is doing through out the year.
