Where has the summer gone?

July 23, 2007 by Sheree.

Even though it’s still July it sure doesn’t feel like it.  It’s been cold and rainy the last week or so and our King’s Kids Camp is coming to a close.  Our Russian teens that joined us have already gone home, and our Americans just have a couple days left before they go home.  For our last week of camp, one team went east to Yekaterinburg and the team Nathan and I were on went north to some villages.  Both teams did performing arts programs and many prayer walks.  Our team went on a never-ending roller coaster ride of bumpy roads to get to our villages where we were being attacked by huge mutant bighting flies and mosquitos.  For many of the villagers we were the entertainment of the year and they came to see us perform and talk with us afterwards.  One lady was healed as our team went out on a prayer walk and one of the teens prayed for her, the group saw her crippled hand become normal and her crooked back become straight.

Another day in camp

July 11, 2007 by Sheree.

Hi everyone. Camp is still going well. There are some difficulties every once in a while that the staff have to deal with. That happens in every camp I think. We’ve also got colds going around the group now and a couple sprained ankles (one of the hurt ankles is our team doctor). So continue to keep us in your prayers.

Our ministry times have been going well. We have different teams during the day going different places, and the evenings we come back together to do a program in the park. The forcast is for rain all week but it just got cloudy for a little bit last night and then got sunny again and we were able to do the program. Many college age guys were there smoking and drinking beer and yelling bad things at the group. We were still able to play basketball with them and build friendships. They were invited back along with all the little kids that were there. I was able to tell a little girl about God who had never heard of him before.

Kings Kids Camp

July 5, 2007 by Sheree.

We are in the middle of our first week of Kings Kids camp.  A group of 29 (22 teenagers) from America has joined our group of 12 Russian teens and 5 staff for an awesome 3-week camp.  This first week we are learning dances and dramas and learning how to share our testimonies of what God has done in our lives.  Next week the teens will serve in orphanages, in villages, in a coffeehouse, in youth groups, and on the streets. 

Last night we had an awesome time of worship, teaching, and prayer.  The staff went around praying for kids that responded to the message.  I (Sheree) got to pray with one of our Russian boys that has gone through many difficulties in his life and has wavered in his faith in God.  God did something remarkable in his heart and many of the hurts from his past were healed. 

God is doing something amazing in this group of teenagers and through them God will do something amazing in the lives of those they will minister to.  It’s fun to be a part of it all.
