Deaf Camp is over!

Deaf Camp is over. I had a wonderfully blessed time. We saw the hand of God at work again. Praise the Lord, a lot of deaf have made the decision to follow Jesus. There were several people that especially touched my heart. One was of a 19 year-old young man who had been a Christian before but had backslidden very far. His eyes were so dark, his heart was hard, but nothing is too hard for God. This young man went forward the last night and was cleansed from his sin. The next morning his eyes were bright. He had a happy smile. Praise God. When you read this, please take time to pray for him. Another 13 year old girl accepted Jesus. She is Mennonite but her parents had only recently become Christians. I love that girl, but she was always kind of withdrawn and quiet. Thank God that she also accepted Jesus into her heart.

There were more who accepted Jesus and I could tell more stories about God's awesome power and love, but i'll leave that for later. Thank you all for praying.

More Deaf Camp

Hey people!! wassup??? I'm at work today but i'm not busy. Well here's some more of deaf camp. We had deaf camp teacher's meeting the other night and i'm sure excited about being teacher now!! Somebody from the states is bringing all our material, so we don't have that headache of trying to think of lessons for classes. The only problem is we're only getting it one day before classes start. But yea, they're bringing everything we'll need, activities, crafts, puzzles, coloring sheets, etc. And i get to teach the best class!! The littlest children!!!! :D I thank God that i can look forward to deaf camp with joy. Without the Spirit of God all our efforts will be useless. I pray that we'll be able to make a positive difference in these precious souls' lives. Thank ya'll for praying.

Deaf Camp is coming up!!!

Hi folks!! I guess this post will be almost identical to Marce's, cuz we're both thinking of deaf camp these days! Anyway they have asked me to be a children's teacher at Deaf Camp. At first I was kind of upset or not really glad about that cuz teaching is so much harder in a way then being counselor. And also most of my friends would be counselor..... Anyway after thinking and praying about it, I think I can look forward to deaf camp with joy. I had not given my preference because i wasn't there the first meeting. So one thought came to my mind, was that God knew where I would best be able to serve Him, that is why my name was under children's teachers. Yea I'm getting excited about deaf camp and please pray for me, that I will be able to teach clearly and that I would let God use me. And also that I wouldn't worry about things that don't get done or what I don't know what to do about. Pray for deaf camp in general: The deaf would be willing to cooperate and that many would receive spiritual help. Thanks y'all for taking time to read this. :)
