We felt a little like the children of Israel in the wilderness! Our youth put on a wonderful program for the 90 children who were there. Many of these children are unchurched.<\/p>\n<p>I had the privilege of speaking with both the children and the adults during our camp. \u00a0While the children were busy with bible lessons I talked with the adults about biblical principles of child raising. Please pray that the truth of Jesus Christ which was shared with these children and their parents would bear fruit.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Biblical Counseling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Christina has also been busy over the past month with a new translation project.
