It’s Been Exciting!

Where do I begin?  We prayed that God would open doors and He has!  Last week at Good News Camp was incredible!  I (Lee) got to teach a great group of students, Tina was a helper, Daniel and Josiah were Jr. counselors and Nathan and Isaac were campers. We also had the opportunity to share Haiti with over 175 students and adults during “Missions” time.   Their goal was to raise $700 to go towards one of our motorcycles.  It was the last day and we still had $200 to go.  The children were excited to see if we would reach it and they eagerly chipped in to help.  “Mr. Lee. . . Mr. Lee. . . I brought in thirty-five cents!  Do you think this will be enough?” a little girl asked.  Another boy excitedly chimed, “Check this out Mr. Lee!  I got all the new pennies out of my safe to bring in.”  Humbled by their generosity, I was reminded of the widow who gave all she had to God.  Soon it was time to reveal the final total.  With great anticipation, we began to count down from 10.  Before we got too far in the countdown, my family noticed I was already crying. . . they knew we had met our goal.  But not only did these campers and adults meet their goal, they almost tripled it.  We left Good News Camp feeling incredibly blessed not only with the financial increase toward our move to Haiti, but with precious memories of times spent with a great group of young people and adults.  God has this.  Once again, He smacked me upside my head and did more than I could ever hope or imagine! 

This week we are sharing during a Vacation Bible School.  Although there will be no monetary gains, our hopes are that God will use us to plant seeds into the hearts of these children. 

Next week we are off to speak at another summer camp.  It’s keeping us busy, but we are grateful that we are being used by God along this journey!

Thank you for your prayers, love and generosity!
