Thursday: TieDye, Flames and the Queen

Each day there is a theme for the day. Tuesday was know God. Wednesday was talk to God. Thursday was tell about God. Friday is love God. Saturday will be work for God. We are taking a journey through the Serengeti with animals leading us. Tuesday=Zech the Zebra, Wednesday=Roary the Lion, Thursday=Elaine the Crane, Friday=Gigi(Geza, Hungarian Giraffe), and Saturday=Lug the Elephant.

Thursday everything changed again due to special craft. We went back to the 60’s with Tie/dye T-shirts. The children had a great time creating their unique apparel. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the grand unveiling of the shirts. You should have seen the fiery furnance for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Man it was hot. The flames got hotter as we wrapped up the day telling others about God.

In the afternoon, a thunderstorm interrupted swim time. We gathered on the soccer field for some water balloon fun. 36 children faced off (including Daniel, Floyd, Leah, and Tatiana) loaded with 400 water balloons. After a snack, the storm had passed and we were back in the water.

In the evening mission time, we took a journey to Tanzania to talk about baptism. One of the children asked, “What is baptism?” “Why should we be baptized?” The door was opened to share the Gospel and also teach about baptism. We showed baptism in a tank and in tub, on a farm and at a home. Sarah Grace shared that she was baptized in her grand parents swimming pool. Abigail shared that she was baptized in the lake.

After our mission time, there was a great game of capture the flag. This is a favorite of the camp. This lasted until evening. We discovered that Canada has a new Queen and Crown Princess.
