Hi Friends,
Sorry, we don’t have internet at the hotel, so my posts have been infrequent. But here’s post #2 for today…
Non-stop action! That’s all I can say about kids camp. We’re trying to teach 5 days of crafts, games, Bible stories, English translation, snacks, and a whole lot more into just 2 and a half days.
Day one started off with a bang. We had puppets, skits, Bible stories, crafts galore, songs, and more.
I worked on some Japanese translation and printing out the Bible points.
Shot some video footage and photos.
Planned a few games that were a blast once the instructions were translated into Japanese and understood…
And I did an impromptu summary of the Exodus story.
Ah yes, blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
Then we had a fabulous time at the pool. It’s not just a pool here… It’s a hot spring, cold water pools, whirlpool jacuzzis flavored with everything from wine to fragrances. Very relaxing and rewarding after a long day of ministry.
Oh and the day wasn’t over yet. After showers and dinner, we had a song and craft time to review what we’ve learned today.
More fun at camp tomorrow and I’m ministering at their Wed. Night meeting. Come Lord Jesus come.
Blessings!
Pastor Arlen
PS- it might help to learn a little bit of Japanese, and I suggest this excellent website to assist you.
