Day 3 for Soccer CampWednesday:

Wednesday:

For the first time since Sunday, the sun came out. It was sunny all day with a high around 88 with a slight wind & quite a bit of humidity. Our numbers have increased for a third straight day. 190 kids came today. We are finding that the children that have been coming every day are both being more responsive to us as coaches and they are telling their friends about the camp. While the soccer fields are still wet, it did not matter at all to these children. One of the fields was still partially covered in standing water, and the kids never once complained or acted like they did not want to play there.

Waheedah made a connection with a teenage girl who had a need for prayer. The girl shared her pain without giving specific details of her problem, but Waheedah felt honored to sit down & pray with this girl. She is finding it easier every day to connect with all the children. There are so many children are that are reaching out to each of us. They are of all ages. We are building good relationships with the Teen Challenge Staff also. Christina was impacted in a great way when she had 3 children come forward & ask her to pray with them. Also, 5 from her group came forward to accept Christ. In fact, today, 29 children came forward during our alter call in the afternoon.

We are also finding children being brought to us are getting younger each day. We have had 24 pre-schoolers brought to camp so far this week.

We finally got a chance to get outside today & we are praying for great weather for the rest of our time here.
