Thursday at Camp as told from the one and only Randi Norman

Hello, all! Randi here. I am currently sitting on my bed in the hotel room as I write this. It is almost 11 P.M., and we have had a full and wonderful day.  Most of our time here in Poland has been rainy and cool and today was no exception. Our day started with Jannah leading devotions. She was prompted to share about the Lord’s  blessings and steadfastness even in the midst of our struggles and stumbles. After our devotion and prayer time, we ventured out on our 0.6 mile walk to the school (exact milage courtesy of Kyle…don’t ask me how many meters that is…I have never been good with numbers or the metric system!). I love our walks. It is nice to have a little quiet walking time in preparation for and/or reflection of the day. I also enjoy it as it is a time to bond as a team. 

Today’s Camp Schedule:

-Welcome and an “Ice Breaker” game

-Slideshow of previous day’s pictures and events

-Lilli gives the scores for our “Color” team competitions (I teased Abby before we left that my team was going to beat hers…let’s just say I have been greatly humbled).

-Camp Dance (Joel loves it!)

-English Lessons

-Break

-English Lessons

-Lunch

-Workshops

Kyle led a bridge building competition. One camper, Daniel, loved it. It was seriously the highlight of his week, which was very encouraging to many people on our team. 

-Team Competition

The Polish youth group led the color teams through various Indiana Jones activities. It was so fun! 

-Snack

-Evening Program

-Labyrinth

The Labyrinth is a series of stations that are set up to encourage students to reflect on Abby’s messages and questions on where each student individually stands with Jesus. “Was Jesus Lord, a lunatic, or a liar?” was the question she posed tonight. She then shared the Truth that she knows, that we as believers know, and what it means to follow Him and be in a relationship with Him. The Labyrinth is definitely a highly anticipated and prayed over event for both our team and the Polish team. The Lord is definitely stirring hearts; at our debrief meeting tonight, two specific campers were brought up, as they talked to two separate members of the Polish youth group team. The Holy Spirit is moving. Doors are being opened.

Tomorrow is our last normal day of camp. Saturday the campers teach us Polish, and we are for sure playing a game of soccer…we don’t stand a chance! Thank you so much for your prayers so far. Please continue to be in prayer for us and with us.

Love, 

Randi
