So as you can tell from the fact that I havent posted on here since May...I'm not so good at this blog thing...of course not having internet in June didnt help...anyways excuses excuses...I'm home now without a summer job lined up, so I have lots of time to catch everyone up on whats happened since May 21st :)
Here goes...good thing I kept a journal ;)
May 21st-May 25th
This week on campus consisted mainly of building into students we saw come to
Christ and making sure they got plugged into the ministry so they would have support when we left. Myself and 2 other girls had the opportunity to share the vision of Campus Crusade for Christ (to change the world by turning lost students into Christ centered labourers) with a group of girls who are already involved in a bible study. They were very excited to have the chance to be involved in changing the world for Christ, which was neat and refreshing for me to see.
Thursday we had our campus wide outreach (a large concert) where we shared the Gospel and worshipped God right on Campus. We had hundreds of students come out...probably close to 500 came and went throughout the afternoon. We were able to give away 200 New Testaments as well as other resources. God was so faithful to us and we saw everything happen in God's timing (eg. the Bibles arrived less than an hour before we began!) not our timing. But through that God stretched our faith in Him. It was incredible to see how God brought everything including the weather under control so that we could proclaim His name on that campus. God is amazing!
May 26th-27th
Saturday we went to a beach in Santa Clara...it was beautiful! We spent the day in the ocean's waves and relaxing and enjoying God's beautiful creation. We came home covered in sand and with many sunburns.
Sunday we headed to church and spent the morning praising God for all he had done this week. In the evening we had a BBQ to celebrate all God did through the concert and thank Him for all He did in us and through us.
May 28th-31st
Our last week on campus! Monday to Wednesday I was on campus doing what we did last week, tying up ends and saying goodbye to the many friends and brothers and sisters in Christ I had made these last 4 weeks. Thursday I had the opportunity to go to the technology university with 3 others and a few of our staff to give a talk there. The panamanian staff are starting a ministry there and wanted us to come help spread the word and get people to come to the talk. We went around telling people about the talk and when the time came we had about 40 students come out...even cooler than that, 33 filled out comment cards and 29 accepted Christ through our invitaion to pray to recieve Christ!! God continues to amaze us! Thursday night we had a goodbye party with all our Panamanian brothers and sisters. There were alot of pictures, laughs and tears. It was hard to say goodbye to the people we had come to know and love so much in such a short amount of time.
June 1st-2nd
Rest and Relaxation!
We had a couple days to rest before jumping into the Jesus Film cycle, so we headed to a mountain retreat in El Valle. It was a beautiful little getaway where we caught up on much needed sleep, enjoyed God's creation, went hiking and swimming in a beautiful waterfall and enjoyed relaxing with eachother before we were split into 3 different teams for the Jesus Film Cycle.
