On the first day of Camp Hope in Zambia, a teacher noticed something quiet but powerful.
While the other children ate, 8-year-old Mary began setting part of her meal aside. It wasn't for later. It was for her younger brother at home, who didn't have the kind of meal she was receiving at camp.
"She wanted him to also be part of the camp and enjoy the meals they have, because that's not the daily meal they have," her teacher shared.
Mary didn't stop after one day. She cut empty water bottles into small containers and, every day that week, carried food home so her brother wouldn't miss out.
Camp Hope is built on four pillars: the Word of God, family, compassion and the opportunity to grow. In Mary, her teacher saw all four come together, and a reminder that what children receive at camp can reach far beyond it.
🙏 Please pray for Mary, her brother and every child at Camp Hope, that what they learn about God's love would shape their homes and families.
