This week has been so exciting for us interns as we have been planning and preparing for camp. We received an amazing team from our church family, along with a few extra's from England and Switzerland. We showed them around Riga and had a few meetings getting to know each other better and learning about how to care for orphans next week at camp. It was a great experience for me to sit and hear why this team felt called to Latvia. I was so touched and encouraged to hear that other people are just as broken hearted for the fatherless. It was also encouraging that they cared enough to ask about what I have experienced so far this summer. I feel incredibly blessed to serve with these people. Tomorrow we will join forces with the leaders from Ergli for training and preparation. Our camp starts Monday!
The amount of time and prayer that has taken place for this team to assemble and this camp to be made possible is something that I'm extremely thankful for. We know that these kids are important to Gods heart because of the passion He has put inside every person that is involved. God is equipping this team to do great things, not because we can, but because he can.
Please pray that we are in rhythm with His heartbeat.
I can't believe that my entire Summer in Latvia has come down to two weeks. Quite possibly the most impactful two weeks of my life and hopefully even more life changing for a teen orphan.
John 14:18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
