THINK AGAIN ~ KECY Slovakia

This years theme was THINK AGAIN. Each day there was a theme for the day...Reality, Self, Wonder, Hope, Awakening; and with these themes we had English classes, sports, games, crafts and evening programs. It was great!

The city I worked with was Lucenec and we had camp in the city of Kremnica (I posted about it in a blog previously).
Even though are camp was small it seemed to be just right. Our camp was in the middle of the mountains in a tiny village.

This year my role was a bit different from last year so I was not able to build quite as many relationships. This year I was the camp leader and was responsible for the American team as well as the Slovak team to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Here are some pictures from camp...

The whole camp!

God revealed himself huge one night....Adam was speaking on 'wonder' and had a powerpoint all ready to go with all kinds of pictures of the universe, stars and so on. We could not get it to work...so Adam just began his evening speach. At the end we all went outside for a campfire. Well God showed himself because before the evening program it was really cloudy and we did not think that we would be able to see any stars after the program...when we went outside that night it was unbelievable. The stars were all over the place and the sky was cloud free, the weather was gorgeous and God was bigger than ever. I love when God does things like that and what a perfect night to do it!

By the end of camp many great relationships were built. When the students were leaving one of the students asked an American, "How long have you been a Christian?" And he replied, "5 years" (I think that is the number he gave....) then he turned to the student and said, "what about you?" and his reply was.... "10 hours." WOW!!!! God is on the move in these students hearts.


Please continue to pray for the students in Slovakia and that they will be responsive to the Gospel.
