Refugee Camp

 Amazing activities by COTR team, Spirit & Truth Church team and surrounding satellite churches.  More than 300 children, ages 2-18 attended the 2-day camp.  The team leaders for COTR were Kaley, Tristin, Bella and Hannah.  Charlie gave lots of talks to the children, and the rest of the team played support roles.  The food was great - cooked by the local women over fires. The camp ended with soccer and other games, and finally a prayer to send the children back to their homes and eagerly return on Sunday for church together.

 We were fortunate to participate in the initial building of a satellite church with Pastor Bheki of Eswatini.  Together, with about 40 of our brothers and sisters in Christ, we watched the 4 cornerstones of the building be put in place with care.  Then, we all jumped in to mix concrete, move homemade blocks and fill in the gaps to build 4 walls.  Lots of work, conversations and joy around serving our Lord together!
