Another beautiful, yet extremely sticky day! We had a great time participating in worship at Come Christian Church in Taichung today. Andrew was able to help lead worship by playing guitar with Lance. It was so cool to be able to worship one God in two languages. It was an incredible experience. We also really enjoyed meeting all the folks of the church. There is something beautiful about people (especially from different cultures, languages, etc.) who have a connection because of Jesus Christ. I can't think of anyone or anything else that really brings people together like Jesus.

Camp started today. 125 middle and high school kids are here. 75% have no relationship with Christ. It was so cool to help them feel welcomed during registration. Andrew was helping with guiding kids to the right line for registration. Katie was taking pictures and doing some video work. She is the official photographer for the week of camp... so cool how God uses our passions for His glory. I was helping lead the boys to the gym to get there beds in order.

We got to know our small groups a little and did some ice-breaker games, including the dreadful dizzy bat game. One girl fell and broke off a tooth (or two not completely sure). Please be praying for her. I think her name is Vicky.

We also had our first worship time last night. Andrew played bass, because the band was having a lot of issues with the sound equipment. Worship was amazing. Please pray that Satan won't use sound equipment issues to distract us from helping these kids really connect with Christ.

I know that we're all really loving our experience so far. It's an honor to be here and to be used to connect kids with Christ. Pray for tomorrow, our first full day. We'll be leading sports clinics and English groups as well as small groups. Please pray that all of this is use to reflect well on our God!
