Nine adolescentes piled in Don and Zoe Peffer's truck and my car early Saturday morning for an hour's trip from Campo Verde through the small maountain renge to reach our camp, Jeová -Jiré which means "God will provide." There were 37 campers from the ages 11 to 15 from several churches in Cuiabá plus Campo Verde plus cooks, speakers, counselors, and workers. All total we had over 50 people at camp. Those from Cuiabá came by bus.The mornings began with raising the national and Christian flags, then devotions in our cabins before breakfast.
After clean-up the first session began with the official opening of "Jet Cadets" (our adolescent program), a time of music and Bible lesson. The theme was "Wake Up to Life" and divided into varias areas of our life: social, physical, spiritual and mental. Several counselors including myself gave the Bible lessons each morning and pastor Ademar did messages in the evenings.
Besides the Bible sessions there were discussion sessions where the kids could talk about various issues with several leaders. During free time many kids spent their time memorizing Scripture verses. Prizes were given to those who memorized the most.
Each of the four teams earned points for memorization of verses, Bible competition, sports, and game activities. Also each team had to take turns washing dishes and pans after the meals.It was a very enjoyable time for all of us. I praise the Loed four boys accepted the Lord as their personal Savior. I pray that the retreat will bring lasting fruit in the hearts of all who participated.
Which team can stick on the most balloons? Which team is the strongest? Which team can fill a water bucket the fastest through these half pipes?
