Day 2 was spent going to a nearby village that our leader had never been to and performing vision assessments. We were definitely the main attraction when we arrived. It took awhile for our leader to convince one of the villager's to go through the assessment but once 1 of them did it, the flood gates were opened! Thanks to a well timed thunder storm, we were invited into a young lady's home where our leader was able to share the G with her. We named her and her husband "Romeo and Juliet". Pray for them (see attached pic). God is good.
We met with other teammates last night to prepare for the English Camp we're putting on over the weekend. We are seeing about 160 students each day and doing VBS-like sessions (English, Music, Crafts, Recreation, and Drama). We are repeating the same camp tomorrow but with older students.
Trying to make meaningful connections at the camp with our translators. We just had lunch with them and are inviting them to Karaoke this evening. I'm so proud of Team Brillhart. Patty is leading the drama, Somer is heading up the crafts, Moriah is working in music, and Brace is doing recreation. I am teaching the English session.
The English Camp was a big success. The administration at the School we visited was very grateful for what our team did.
We had about 7-8 people join us last night for Karaoke. All of us went back and forth singing various American and Native songs. Then our leader plugged in his iPod and we started singing a few Christian songs (How Great is Our God, How He Loves, etc.). You should have seen Brace pump out a Lecrae rap - "Don't Waste Your Life." I was so proud of him! Then our leader shared the gospel in their native language. We got contact info from our guests for our leaders to follow up on.
According to our leaders, it was one of the best Karaoke sessions they've ever had. Team Brillhart may have owned the mike last night but God dominated the room. It was an incredible opportunity for us to connect with the East Asian people.
Today we're headed to another school to put on a camp similar to what we did today.
We're missing you guys but thrilled to be a part of reaching these beautiful people for the Lord.
I'll keep you updated. The Word for the day "But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." (2 Tim 4:5)
Thanks,
Jeff
