Unity…..8/17/09
I learned my boys names today; Zackarus – 15, Elimiu – 14, Solomon – 15, Emanuel – 16, Itara – 15, Elliesus – 32, Ashinave – 26. We did soccer drills out on the soccer field today. It felt like freshmen year soccer tryouts…it was awesome! The boys went swimming in the lake today. It was like taking a child to Disney World or six flags. They had the time of their lives in three feet deep water with life jackets on. Team Brazil (my team) dominated the soccer field today….today was a winning day…..After the night service UCF circled up to pray for the boys. We stood on the path that is between their cabin and the shintabate (bathroom). As we were praying, all of the boys walked by to go shower. It was incredible because my group was being shady and just did not want to go over by the boys cabins to pray because they didn’t want to be seen. When we were trying to be invisible in our prayer the Lord threw us out in the open for all to see what we were doing. Many of the boys may have never been prayed for before this week. As we stood in that circle on that path I prayed that EVERY boy attending this camp would come to know Christ. After I ended that prayer the boys began to sing a song. They spoke in Amharic so I did not know what they were singing but it sounded beautiful. At that moment I felt the peace of God came over me and I knew that one day we will all be sharing in worship together in God’s Kingdom…
