Camp With New Life

Last week we able to go to a 3 Day camp with a Christian school called New Life Academy, where we loved on the kids with worship, games, lots of food, more games, and then great times of spending time with the Lord in teachings and devotions!



This picture Tamiko took for me down while we were at the beach. She has a great eye for good pictures....oh and these are Hannah's sandals with a Hana (Flower in Japanese) on the left sandal and with the Kanji for Hana on the right sandal. Sweeto picture Murikami! Thanks



Wow.....Okinawa is really beautiful! That day was so clear, visibility almost endless! God creation is awesome, and this beach was about a 2 minute walk from our camp site! Awesome! There was some great relaxation in these waters here, good times! We walked into these caves and got some pictures in there also.



Here is one of the awesome pictures inside of the last picture's cave. The water was so clear, and you could find great coral souvenirs and crabs. Very awesome. I think that if you look at the picture upside down, it looks like a guy with a long neck with his mouth open....what do you think?


I climbed up on some coral and Zach took this for me....I was feeling very meditative and thoughtful at this point....thinking of how God created something so beautiful, and how men and women still believe that all this beauty was created by just sheer evolution and maybe a big explosion. No, God made His Earth with beauty so that His people might enjoy it, and it is truly "living the life" out here with it!

Here the leaders and the kids getting ready to play some ultimate frisbee, where you run up and down the field like soccer but with a frisbee. Great game, and I have to boast in my team that took the Gold metal on this one.....woooowhooo Orange team! Good times. There was so much more to this day....just not enough free time to take the pictures, we leaders were involved in completely every aspect of the games and days. It was a blessing, and I know for a fact the kids were blessed. But to top it off, I know with-out a shadow of a doubt that the Lord was pleased with the time spent with these kids! Praise the Lord for His faithfulness in each of the leaders lives, as the dedicate their lives to serving Jesus!
