Friday Evening


Our youth families have been leading Bible Study with the campers each day.  The campers are divided into four age groups: 8 and under, 9-10, 11 year olds and 12 year olds.  They visited a different family each day for Bible Study under the theme: "God's World, My Responsibility - Connect God's Way in God's World."  Here are a couple pictures from Bible Study from my family. Our topic has been Taking Care of God's Creation.

Taylor talks about the environment.
Our weather has been hot - highs in the low 90s - but there has been a good breeze.  If you can be in the shade, the breeze helps; but out in the sun, where afternoon sports activities are held, it can be quite hot.  We take lots of water breaks.  Except for one overnight rain and a very brief shower this morning before we got up, there has been no rain.  

Our last evening worship on Friday had more songs and skits by camper teams with our youth leading them, and special music performances by the children and our youth.  Scott delivered the evening message, and the camp director, Brother Dwight, recognized all the counselors, our mission team, and everyone who made the week a success.  

The night is not over yet - there is a bonfire on the BTC grounds with campers and youth.  It seems unusual to have a bonfire in a tropical setting with temperatures as they are.  

Saturday morning after breakfast we are loading up and leaving the BTC.  We are going to Caves Branch Outpost for zip lining and cave tubing.  The zip line runs from tree platform to tree platform across stretches of jungle.  Cave tubing is similar to river tubing as we know it, but the river winds in and out of caves.  From there we drive to Belize City to catch a water taxi to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye off the coast.  It will be evening before we arrive and transfer to the hotel.  So this will be the last post until Internet is available in San Pedro.

Keep the team in you prayers as we travel on land and water tomorrow and begin our R&R.
