Last week was a blast. I visited the Little Lights kids at camp hope. If you are interested you can check out the pictures on Angelo Capilli’s web site, Rouge Winter. The kids seemed so peaceful at camp. It was the best I have seen them behave. Ms. Linda and Mr. Thomas provided the parental support needed to make the kids feel at ease. One day I was the ref for a camp counselor vs. campers basketball camp. It was rough to ref because I was not familiar with the NBA rules that they wanted to play under. The following day after I returned the first thing I heard was that I was a bad ref.

We return to the regular Friday night youth night meeting this week. I have been very pleased by the International Justice Mission Curriculum called What is the Justice Mission. We watched the story of a young girl that was kidnapped by a group of women and forced into prostitution and the story of students from the US that went to document the story of children in bonded slavery or prostitution. One of the kids in the group said, “I am glad it was not me.” This coming week we are going to deal with the “so what?” of what we have studied. One of my favorite lesson was the two world views of abundance and scarcity. We learned how people’s belief would determine how they lived. We read the story of the feeding of the 5,000 and how God can multiply and provide abundance. We will see what happens next with the meager resources we have compared to the immensity of the problems of injustice that we see in DC alone.
