Military high school

During the first week of July, a team from Auburn, AL came to run an English character camp at the CCAFPS (military high school about 5 minutes from the cram school that I teach at). Since I had two weeks off from teaching, I had the opportunity to spend nearly the entire week with the team, helping out with the camp.

The 12 from Auburn had prepared a curriculum using Bible stories about King David to teach about character, honesty, self-control, teamwork, and forgiveness. They lead about 130 10th and 11th grade guys in silly songs and games as well as told these Bible stories in English, and then acted the stories out with props. Then we had small group time where we got to know the students. Through those small group times and many other one to one conversations, many of the guys were given the opportunity to receive the gift of Salvation and go from being God’s enemy to being God’s friend. Of that group, over 30 of the students came to a new believer’s training session on the last day of the camp! Praise God! The military school’s English teacher, who originated the idea to have a mission’s team come to run an English camp is a believer and goes to my church (BCC). Hopefully she will be able to bring the guys who stay on campus during the weekend to church. Please pray for revival among the students, and for wisdom on how to start some Bible Study/worship groups on the campus!
