Bible Camps

So the last week and a half we have had a mission team come from Tennessee to work with young boys in soccer clinics during the World Cup. While they're doing that my mom, Sarah, other volunteers and I have been working with the younger kids in a Bible Club. It has been very exhausting, but well worth it to see all these kids get so excited about us being here with them and learning about God. Today was our last day of Bible Club, but last night we had a debriefing/reflection time. I went into this club thinking that I'll change the kids lives and maybe my own, but last night really got me thinking. I starting looking back at how passionate these kids are about God. They get so excited about singing praises to God! They sing and dance and just have huge smile on their faces the whole time! Today was a horrible day too. They high today was 5C (40F) and it was very windy and raining yet we had 16 faithful kids walk through the wind and rain to come and get excited about Bible Club! Then I thought about me and my walk with God. I realized that my faith is not as strong as what these children have. In the Bible it says that we must have faith like a child. I want to have fire in my eyes the same way these kids do! The last week and a half changed me more than I thought!
What got me the most was as we were giving them all a piece of candy and saying goodbye one of the little boys came up to me and ask, "Can we come back next week?" That just broke my heart! He had had such a great time and didn't realize that this was for a short time.
