We're having an awesome time with the youth at the Estonia/Latvia camp organized by the Voru UMC. We've been sharing the spirit of God with these "kids" who are the first Estonian generation of freedom since the end of the communist reign. Our days are filled with worship, singing, workshops (drama, music, dance, and sports), Estonian meals, walks, canoe trips, bible discussion groups, and just hanging around chatting about life. We're encouraging the youth to follow their dreams and to listen to God's guidance."To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue"(Proverbs 16). Doug led a bible chat yesterday focusing on the beauty inside of us as we were all created in God's image and He didn't make anything that wasn't beautiful. "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18)." This morning we did a presentation on life in Houston,Texas and on life at Chapelwood. Rita led us in singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas" and taught the Cotton Eyed Joe. We gave out cowboy hats as mementos. Please join us in praying for the youth of Estonia as they move forward in the journey of self discovery.
