Hello all! This past weekend we hosted a camp for kids in grades 1-7. Over the past few days I have been realizing more and more that ministry isn't just what we say but also is what we do. This became clear while trying to communicate with the kids this weekend. Most of them only spoke a little bit of English, and a lot of Zulu, so I had to use a lot of actions. The kids loved when you did even the smallest things like playing a game with them or even just smiling at them. Whenever we were going from one place to another there were two or more kids by my side or holding my hands.
I also learned a lot about team work. If we, as leaders had not been able to work together, everything would have fallen apart. There were some rocky times where plan A wouldn't work so we had to use plan B but everything always worked out and we all learned to be very flexible.
Friday was the day the kids arrived, so the morning was crazy trying to get everything ready for them. When they arrived we played games, hung out and got them settled into their dorms.
Saturday was day two and we had tons of fun. We did different things like, worship, aerobics, skits, games, activities, and sports. Sunday was our last day and we had a few more station for them and then it was time to say goodbyes and clean up.
Overall the weekend was super fun and I learned a lot.
