Wednesday Morning

Our second day of Bible Camp is underway.  All of us took part in the morning exercise program at 6:10 AM.  boys were on the basketball court and running track and the girls were led by Megan Jornigan - lots of music and movement with their exercise this morning.  We broke into our small groups for morning devotions - the story of the Good Samaritan.  Later this afternoon there will be a quiz competition on the story.  Each of the three camper groups will choose two members for the question and answer competition.  After morning devotions we had breakfast, and just ahead is morning praise and worship followed by the Bible Study led by our youth.

Here are a couple pictures from yesterday's morning praise and worship.

Afternoon sports varies from day to day.  Yesterday was a basketball tournament, relay race, and free throw shooting contest among the three groups.  Our youth, Belezian camp counselor and campers make up the three groups.

Some of the basketball action from yesterday:

Last evening's worship had a lot of singing, let by Brother Dwight, the camp director.  A highlight of the music was a solo, "I Know My Redeemer Lives" sung by Holly Miller.  Matt Roberts gave the message on "Stinky Feet" - appropriate for a camp in the tropics.

No rain yesterday or last night, and tis morning's low cloud cover has already burned off; it is a sunny day with blue skies.  Temperatures will probably climb today.  The forecast is for a high of 90 and a good chance of showers this afternoon and evening.

Our youth are building relationships with the campers.  They eat with them at meals and play and talk with them throughout the day.  They are an integral part of the three groups and help with preparing them for the quiz competition and their part in the worship service each evening.  

Morning praise and Bible Study are just ahead, so I will end this now.  Today's Scripture (upper right on the blog) was sent in a note from Cy and Ellen Miller.  Appropriate words from Isaiah for our mission here in Belize.
