The Fusion Journey Begins!!

After a long week of preparation for the 1st Fusion camp of the year the day is finally here!!  Both Faith and Shiloh American teams made here, to Riga Latvia, in one piece and with every piece of luggage!! That my friends is a blessing in disguise for a rough estimate of 24 Americans!  This last week we trained these teams and gave them as much information as one could possibly handle about Latvia's culture.  Each person has a specific role in the camps and as we step into this week please be praying for us all!  The nerves, excitement, joy, and tension are a huge part of this camp and knowing we have people on the other side and here praying us through it has a huge impact in our lives!!  
     This year the camp has 25 campers split fairly equally between guys and girls!  In the past girls outnumbered guys by a long shot!  They don't have the support of male leadership here as some are used to, so knowing that males are stepping up is extremely encouraging!  
     Both American teams take off today and will each head to their designated camps for the week!! Please be praying for us both!  Also from what I have heard, the English camp in Liepa is going very well!! Please continue to pray for them as well!

Specific Prayer Request:

For campers to be plugged into a church they can call home, as well as plugged in with a national who can disciple them so that they grow and can then disciple others!

For campers hearts to be soft and open to what God has to say to them this week!

For the leaders to have patience, courage, flexibility and to serve with humility!


Thank you all again!! I miss you all so much!! This pic is from two years ago, I can't wait to see how much they have grown!
