This past summer the Lord gave me an idea to do a camp for kids called ‘World Changers Kids Camp’. We just had our 5th camp on Monday and it was awesome! Our friends Alida and her family kindly hosted the camp at their house this time, and many kids came.
At these camps we focus on China, the orphans there, and how kids can help change the world through prayer and acts of mercy. We had a very gifted 9 year old girl named Emily Clifton come and lead worship for us this time. Then we showed a video about Bethel Foster home for blind orphans, and made the kids at Bethel some tactile gift cards so they can feel them. (We are going to take these cards with us when we go to Bethel to get Hope.) Then we talked more about China, the orphans there, and made wontons from scratch.
The camp is also a fundraiser for our adoption and we raised $220 that will be doubled by the Lifesong for Orphans grant! It was a really fun time and I pray that God uses it to ignite the hearts of the children for Him, and for the orphans! We have some pictures from our time on Monday too and I will post those soon.
We have another World Changers Kids Camp coming up this Monday that will also be at Alida’s house, and we are really looking forward to it. Thank you Alida for all your support and encouragement!
Love, Kim

We are so thrilled to help do our small part to bringing Hope home! The World Changers camp was WONDERFUL and unforgettable! We had a blast and loved the whole part! Especially the making of the wontons. Yum. Bless you, Alida
