CAMP 2007!

CAMP 2007!


Wild boar that wandered in to camp. Actually he is not so wild just escaped from his pen and is now living loose. (But try to catch him)


Every year people in the church look forward to our camping program. This year was no different people were anticipating the Carnival holiday to arrive so that our church could go camp on a small farmette. This year with the help of the Shippensburg Church of God we were able to rent something a little nicer. The plan was for a group of people to come from the Shippensburg church but that was not possible this year. We thank them for their help in renting this facility.

God is so good! We prayed a lot that it would not rain on us at camp. This has been the most rain that people have ever seen during the rainy season here. To give you an example since January 24th to February 26th we had one day where it didn't rain. We camped within the city practically this year on a nice property that we rented. The only place that we heard of that it did not rain during the day in Palmas, are you ready for this, was where we were camping! It poured during the night time and was sunny during the day. But meanwhile... where the Carnvial celebration was taking place it just poured buckets of water down on the festivities. God takes care of his servants!

I invite you to take a look at some of the pictures below to get an idea of what happened during our camping celebration. God bless!






A little bit of God's word never hurt anyone, as a matter of fact a lot of God's word wouldn't hurt either! We actually met for praise, worship, prayer, and study six different times during camp!



The children took advantage of a small playground that was available to them almost all day long, when they were not in the pool they were here.



Our coreography/dance team also performed one evening.



We baptized Edinaldo and Antonhia both accepted Christ last year. Naldo accepted Christ at last years camp making an already special baptism even more special.





Our special evening this year was the night of the hill billy. If you see someone dressed like you dress please don't be offended, it was all in good fun.


More miscellaneous photos follow if you haven't had enough already.






Nice group shot of all the camp participants, and a sunset to fnish it all up.



Camp 2008 will be here before we know it!
