Until next time!

Today is the day we lovingly refer to as "The day of much crying." The campers began leaving this morning at 8:30 and have been continually saying goodbye since then (It's 12:10 now). It has been so wonderful to see the emotions and tears because it shows how much this camp means to these teenagers. For many of them they are saying goodbye to their most authentic experience of community all year. There are exclamations of "I will miss you" and "Facebook" happening all around.
Please pray for these teenagers as they return to their homes. We have spent much time talking about the "camp high" and the inevitable crash that follows. Pray that the fall that comes would be gradual and supported by a Christian community at home.
Pray also for us as we debrief our time here and begin to recuperate from the experience. We feel frazzled, emotionally exhausted and completely overwhelmed by God's work here in us and through us.
Thank you so much for joining us in this journey. Look forward to a few more posts over the next few days from everyone on the team!
