YFC Summer Camp 2007

“Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
James 4:8

This verse was the theme for our Youth for Christ Summer camp 2007. Tom and I left to take Lisa, Hayden and Austin; our friends from Reno back to the airport in Dakar, Senegal and saw them off on the 31st of July. From there we headed to meet everyone else for our annual camp in Bansang, which is about 6 hours up the river from where we live. We had a day to relax before the campers arrived. The campers arrived on the 1st of August ready for an exciting week at camp. The campers listened to two guest speakers and had three seminars on evangelism, purity/HIV/abstinence, and heart transformation. In addition to the teachings the campers, had ample time for volleyball, soccer, and other extracurricular activities. Tom and I were very busy tired and stressed out but we managed to survive by the grace of God. The Bansang area has so many opportunities for ministry and at present we are praying about relocating there to expand the Gospel to the surrounding villages. But before we leave, if we leave to Bansang that is, we have a lot of projects to finish in the urban area we are staying in right now. Tom is working on two youth centers and a main office center for YFC. He is overseeing the construction and establishment of these places. God is really moving here and we are stoked to be a part of His plan for Africa. We are also arranging outreach trips to other parts of Gambia and planning for the future to arrange mission trips to surrounding countries for Gambian youth. Thank you for your continuing prays and support.

With Love, in His service

Tom and Andrea
