Czech Rep - Day 7

Today we are back to our normal camp schedule with crafts, games, English, and daily talk with discussion groups.  Judit, one of our Czech team leaders, spoke today.  There are many important people in our life - doctors, teachers, etc.  Who do we need the most?  It is impossible to choose.  She shared that Jesus fulfills everything that we need in life. We can turn to him for help with anything.  She also used an example of someone, who has huge debts to pay, but cannot pay it.  These debts can be likened to sin in our life.  The payment for sin is death, and God sent Jesus to pay this debt for us.  Pray for these kids to understand why it is important to call on God for help.  Pray for them to recognize their need for Jesus.

The campers explored various parts of the map of the island in order to plug in the radio to find a signal.  They lost the signal and have to find it again.  They learned they cannot do it alone and need each other's help.  

Later in the evening we invited all the parents of the campers to come to a grill party.  Grill parties are common in the summer time.  It is a chance for Czechs to enjoy the outdoors and spend time together.  This grill party is an opportunity for us and our Czech partners to connect with families and invite them to activities that happen through out the year - clubs for kids and youth, mom's club, worship services, English evenings, etc.  Pray for these families to have the desire to connect to Runway thru these activities.  Relationships are so important and connections are key to go deeper in gospel conversations. Pray for our team as at the end of the week we are pretty tired.
