Word of life camp! Day 3

The day was really interesting, woke up, had breakfast, did some games after that. The Conways joined us later on. Justin gave today's lesson about Saul who also like Zaccheus had changed his way of life. Yesterday Omondi has asked how he could also change other people after he had been changed. He was answered today by the lesson. Let God use you to change other like God used Ananias to change Paul, then God again used Paul to spread His word to all the Gentile nations. Later we had a game.
While having the 10 o'clock tea Hollyie suggested we try to network with the Word of Life people, especially in the kitchen area. We got in touch with the relevant persons and expressed our wishes for our catering students back at the farm. The chef agreed and so did the camp management. All we have to do now is organize if this is possible for some of our kids to come out here when it really gets busy to have experience or placement. The months when guys are packed here is during the months of August through to September.
We did some crafts, which was a bit complicated but we all got it figured out. Then we had lunch. After lunch I took some time to get case stories of the boys. One case which really needs all our prayers, is of Franklin, he has no idea who or where his father is, his lost his mother while he was just a year old and he is HIV positive.
We plan to complete the rest of the case stories tomorrow. The boys got to wear their Badilika t-shirts and they were radiant in the camp compound. Everyone else wanted to know what this meant, and where the group was from.
As we leave tomorrow morning, we have definately made a mark here, the kitchen staff will definately miss us... and we have planted something in these boys that they will never forget. They have learnt that they still can change, no matter the situations they are in, life is all about changes and tranforming to God calling and will.
It has been a week of so much fun and blessing for me, I have made new friends, and drawn closer to God.
