AUGUST 2, 2010
Praises:
In July a group from SOI came down and helped with VBS. They were a wonderful help with sports and games. There were about 180-200 children and helpers involved in VBS. PTL
We have now started to have family clubs in different neighborhoods throughout the city to try to reach the families of the new children that attended VBS. In the house where Tim and I had our club, there were about five families represented. The children sang songs that they learned in Bible School and the adults were able to participate in the Bible study with their children as well as do a craft.

Missionary camp started July 26th. Last week the campers were in training and now they are at the three different projects. Susie’s project is working with a church in Acapulco this week along with 5 other young campers. They will do VBS, Bibles studies, mimes, sports outreaches, etc. The other two projects are with our missions in Cochapa and Pinotepa.

Next Monday an English teacher arrives to help teaching this fall. Bethany Long is from Texas and we are looking forward to her time here working at the Colegio R. Carey Brenton.

School starts around the last week of this month and we are gearing up with teachers meetings and preparations for classes. We praise the Lord for His faithfulness. Once again we were able to lead in the academics in this area of Ometepec and much of the state of Guerrero.

Prayer Requests:
Prayer for the missionary campers on their projects: Acapulco, Cochapa, and Pinotepa.
Pray for the school, the teachers, director, and the new students. Pray for Bethany. Please pray for me (Barbara) as I am in charge of training the teachers. In a couple of weeks we will have the teachers training courses.
Pray for the church especially the family clubs that will go on for about 5 more weeks.
Please pray for Tim this week as he works with the missionary campers on their projects.
