Trinec English Camp, Sept 27-Nov 1


Uuuunnnnooo! This English camp was a bit non-traditional. It was organized by a woman from our church who teaches Czech and English at a high school in Trinec (a city of about 50,000 right next to CT). About half of the students were from this industrial high school, and we were warned that they'd probably be rough. However, they were some of the sweetest students, and even though the collection of people at this camp was pretty random there was a real family atmosphere.

An interesting theme of the camp was that of being in a spiritual battle. It kept coming up in our conversations and Bible reading. As we talked with the students, it became clear why God was speaking that to all of us. Some of them are entrenched in some very deceptive beliefs. Even though none of them made a decision that weekend, we trust that God is working out his purposes in their lives. For sure, they experienced a love and acceptance that weekend that is supernatural. :)
