Summer!!

Summer Ministry is always one of the high lights of the year. We have a lot of volunteers that come to help us make summer special for the kids. This year was no exception. We had around 60 volunteers here from the end of June through July. We did day camps for kids 14 and under from 4 different orphanages in 2 locations at the same time during the first two weeks of July. Because we had enough team members, while day camp was happening at the team house, we had a group that went into the orphanages to do activities with the kids that remained there. The last two weeks of July we focused on the teams. We had a girls camp the first week and a boys camp the second. These took place at the team house, and were special times. The theme of the summer was a circus theme. We focused on living authentic lives, not lives of illusion and focusing on faith, hope, and love. Here are some of my favorite pictures of the summer--there were so many to choose from!
