I don't know where the time goes, but it is sure going by in a hurry! As I sit here and type, I can not believe that we have three weeks of Summer Day Camp under our belt... with 3 more to go! Needless-to-say, our days are full and we are keeping busy with the kids! From crazy games to crafts and small groups to reading, we are having a great time and truly imparting into these kids lives.
This past week, we made a trip out to the San Francisco Zoo! With it being the first Wednesday of the month, we were able to get everyone in for FREE because all San Francisco residents can get into the zoo for free on the first Wednesday of the month. The kids had an awesome time and LOVED seeing all the cool animals. We even got to take one little girl for her very first time... how special it was!
In other news, David has been working hard to break into the 'gang' above our house. He has been up there twice in the last week to take some of the guys food and to play basketball. It has been a slow go with the guys not really sticking around to 'hang out'. Please be praying for David and his team as they continue to work on building relationship with these guys. It is very challenging and can be disheartening at times, but we continue to have faith in our Lord and that He is able to do the impossible!
We are also looking at having a staff member move into the first floor of our house by the end of the summer. We are excited to see staff come on board! There is the possibility of having two other young ladies join us this fall. One my be here as early as August, with the other arriving in September.
With the close of summer coming up quickly, we are praying about starting a "Kid's Klub" and "Youth Group" as a continuation of Summer Day Camp. We want to provide a platform to continue to build relationship with the kids and youth, as well as, sow into their lives. We are not sure what this will look like, but are seeking the Lord about His plans for the fall.

Blessings to you all! Thanks for stopping in... we'll see you later!
David and Kim, what an awesome mission and passion our Lord has given you~I'll be praying for you both that our Lord would just allow that breakthrough you are looking for! In the interim, just be encouraged that the seeds of righteousness are being planted, even though you may not see it or feel it, and that in HIS time your efforts will bear much fruit for HIS kingdom!
ReplyDeleteDavid, you will never remember this, but the first time my family met you, was with a short term missions trip you did to So. California with Kings Kids Honolulu~you must have been about 10-11 yrs. old back then! You preformed at my son's school (Hillcrest Christian). The team made such an impression on our two boys, that we ended up signing up for the winter Go Camp back in 1994 :)
