Day 3

Another great day today. God amazes me more and more each day of this trip. It was the second day of basketball camp. We had over 400 kids come through today! Talk about alot of kids! It was great though. Its great watching their faces as we teach them new skills. Its even more awesome when we tell them about Jesus and their eyes light up. Theres alot of things that stood out to me today that I could talk about but I only have time to talk about a few. Students are given an armband of a certain color and are then divided into groups according to color. There are 6 different colors and each color represents part of the gospel story. (yellow-heaven, blue-creation,black-sin, red-Jesus' blood, white-clean heart, and green-growing in Christ) These children are eager to learn. They write scripture on their arms during story time just so they can go back and read the verse from their new Bible when they get home. Thats humbling to me. Its not just one child, its most of them. It makes me ask myself, am I that eager to know more about God. Do I yearn to know Him on a deeper level? There were 2 children out of 200 yesterday that own a Bible but yet every child knows John 3:16 by heart. How many kids/adults in America (who OWN a Bible) know that verse. It speaks alot to me. And they love the verse. The smiles on their faces when they received the Word of God was priceless. 3 Muslim children decided to take Bibles even though they knew they would get in trouble when the went home with it. These kids heard the gospel and were going around telling others what their bracelet represented. Im tired, physically and mentally. But Im excited about waking up and seeing those little faces. God is moving. Please continue to pray for us and for the hearts of these people. God is faithful. God is love.
