Praise for a busy but good week with the GAP students. Our main duty here is to be camp parents but we are also teachers, mentors, and spend lots of time with discipleship of the student. They are half way through their 10 month program so our days and evenings have been spent in reviewing, testing, and evaluating the progress of the students. We had 157 essays to grade on topics the student’s have studied since February. As the essays were to incorporate their life experiences, it was very eye opening as to what all these students have endured in their short lives as they wrote about topics on Wisdom, Family, Love, Self-Esteem, Health Addiction, Friendships, Sex and AIDS, Keys to Success, and Facing the Future.
Pray for our students as they have a two week vacation from GAP. All have accepted Christ since coming to GAP and have left an unhealthy life style and made big changes in their lives. They most likely will be faced with temptations and find it difficult back in their home environments. Pray for their strength and they made wise choices while back in the townships.
While the students are gone, we will spend the two weeks with a one week Vacation Bible School for about 100 elementary students, as well as some other ministries in the area. We also will start sorting and packing for our departure July 27th.
