Adelaide Action

Phone update from the Bahamas just in! The report from the field is that the team is doing VERY WELL! Yesterday they visited the community of Adelaide where our students spent the day loving on and playing with the school children of this community. They did face painting, and played games, braided hair, and offered themselves as a "living sacrifice" of love to these children. The principal of the school was overcome with the joy and the love that was extended by our students to their students. This school is so blessed that our teams have faithfully come back year after year and this day is indeed a highlight of the year for their school. Our kids gave all of themselves physically, spiritually and emotionally in service to loving on these students. The team is happy to report that the basketball court and facilities that our teams painted last year is in great shape and looking good! Our 2007 team was prepared with supplies and sporting equipment to give as a gift to the school. After sharing lunch time together with the Bahamian students had to return to class and then our team went to work on clearing and cleaning up the area. The rakes came out, trash bags were opened and our students scoured the area raking and cleaning and picking up debris and trash. They had a great time on the bus reflecting and sharing about the days events and returned to camp, happy, exhausted, dirty, tired and hungry! What until you hear what happened next......

To be continued....Bahama Mama
