At the end of August, I traveled about five hours into the jungles with the Bible school to help host a camp for children at a school in a rather large village. We were told it was the first time they had allowed a Christian group to come. Normally, they would have a Buddhist monk come in to teach the children. There were over 200 children from ages 6 to 15.
Our students spent three weeks preparing songs, dramas, and lessons for the children. It was so fun to practice and work with them. I taught English for two hours. And with the help of the students, I taught a Bible lesson to each of the four age groups. On Sunday, I shared the gospel with all the children and teachers, and we had over 50 receive Jesus for the first time. One girl told us later that she grew up in a Christian family and so she thought she was a Christian. After our camp she knew that she wasn’t, so she accepted Jesus. It was great to see the children have so much fun and learn so much. Equally thrilling for me was to see what that the students at the Bible school are becoming such wonderful leaders and ministers.
