Our First Full Day

Today was the first full day with campers. We (Americans) start off the day with a meeting to share a devotion, stories, announcements, and prayer requests as a team. We then move quickly to breakfast, the group worship and announcements, then reading time. Reading time is when groups meet to read a passage of the Bible, translate it and work through a study about the passage. The reading time lasts for about an hour. We then move to our English classes. The first day of English class is usually the most difficult. We do not know much about our students before we get to class, so it is hard to prepare a lesson that will be the right level for the students. Once you get through that first class, it is usually much easier to know how to prepare. This year the English classes are 2 hours long. Next we have lunch and some free time. This time is usually spent going to town with the Polish people, preparing for the next day's English class, reading time, or conversation group, or maybe taking a short nap. After free time, we have conversation group, supper, an activity, then a large group meeting. Tonight, Doreen Henderson shared her testimony with the group. She did an excellent job!

Andy Labowitch would like you all to know that "the love is flowing". It is very apparent that there is already a strong connection forming between many Poles and the Americans.

Prayer Requests:
- For each of us to remember that we came here to serve and not meet our own needs and wants
- Health, a few are feeling a little low
- Openness for both Poles and Americans towards conversation
