So This is our final night and God is at work in Albania. Super proud of Koldyn this week. Anxhelo, Fabio, Renis, Olivia, Ema, and Henri accepted Jesus tonight but conversations are on going. Pray for those who have not yet asked questions they are struggling with. Praise God and All for His Glory!

Our final night at camp and God is at work in the hearts and minds of the teams and the kids. Super proud of Koldyn this week. We still have people in groups in deep conversations but we have had Anxhelo, Renis, Henri, Olivia, Fabio and Ema accept Jesus at this point. Lots of questions and deep conversations. Pray for them to endure in their faith and pray for those who have questions not yet asked.!

So we are having a traditional 4th of July lunch at the Stephen’s Center in Tirana. Love this place!

So we have wrapped up our first week here in Albania with the children at Zyber Hallulli and it has been great week, a bit hot and a bit tiring but a great week. Thursday was watermelon eating contest. We were joined on Friday by Trent and the team from California and had pizza with the kids for lunch and then water war after lunch. So much fun and refreshing. I had to stay back and fill the pool that we used to drop the water balloons in and to refill the water guns! Everyday we had opportunities to share Jesus individually with the children!
This evening we will be attending a wedding from someone from Kisha e Hirit(Grace Church). Church tomorrow and then loading up equipment for the camp.

Monday camp will begin. Pray for the kid’s hearts to be receptive to the gospel, for those teaching the main lessons each day, for small group discussions in the mornings and evenings, for those sharing their testimonies, for the worship team, for safety and health of kids, camp leaders and camp staff.

Pray for a spirit of humility and willingness to serve even we our tired and hot. Pray for us to encourage not just the kids but all camp leaders.

Pray for us to Love the Lord our God with all our hearts, with all our souls, with all our minds and with all our strength and to love others as ourselves. If we do that then that love will flow out to others around us and they will sense a glimpse of the love God has for His children!

Lastly that the Holy Spirit will move in our hearts and the hearts of all the children and camp staff and God’s purposes will be accomplished in each heart!
