Kamiah update

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to give y'all an upadate on our first day of VBS and our first teen night in Kamiah!

We only had a couple of kids in VBS...but the kids that did come really need Jesus!  2 of the children grew up in extreme dysfunction in the foster-care system and have had a pretty painful past.  We were so glad that we were able to minister to them on an individual level and really show them the love of Christ.  We hope and pray that more kids will come throughout the week, but if they don't, we are just grateful that God can use us to touch the needy kids we had today.  Please pray that God will bring who He wills, and that He will keep our students motivated to serve wholeheartedly, despite the results.  They did an amazing job today loving on those kids and teaching them about Jesus.

We spent the afternoon walking around the town and talking to everyone that we met!  Some students and leaders also went door-to-door to talk to people and tell them about the activities we have planned this week.

After a great dinner, we headed out to the football field for some ultimate frisbee.  We are so thankful that we had such a great turn-out, and that most teens that did come were unchurched.  Lee, Meghan and Sam shared their testimonies and did a great job!  Please pray that God would use their stories to touch hearts.

We are about to head back to the church for family group time.  No showers tonight, but Lee and Jack have just bathed in the ice-cold river...what an experience!

Praise God for an amazing group of students...they are doing an awesome job, and I am so proud of all of them.  Please continue to pray for our work here~
