Hello from Kake!

It's been an incredibly busy two days for us in Kake. Thus, the lack of a blog yesterday.

• Culture Camp from 9:00 to 11:00
• Kid's Fun Zone from 10:00 to 11:00
• Lunch at 11:30
• Culture Camp from 1:00 to 4:00
• Dinner at 5:30.
• Sports Camp from 6:00 to 7:30
• Women's Bible Study from 7:00-8:30
• Youth Hang-out Time from 8:30-???

Women's Bible Study enjoying a campfire.

We had the opportunity to spend time with some of the women from Kake each evening.  Monday we talked about God's amazing grace--how He gives it to us and we, in turn, need to give it to ourselves and others. The guys started a fire in the new fire pit we had built.  We tossed pieces of paper on which they had written things for which forgiveness and grace were needed, either for themselves or for others.  Today we focused on the hope that God gives us through His promises in His Word.  We concluded with a prayer walk stopping at a number of places in town.  The women are united in their passion about starting a revival in Kake.  Their prayers humbled us and reminded us to pray passionately for our own communities.
