Hello parents, friends, and supporters!

We are so thankful for your encouragement,support, and prayers in sending each of your team members on the Sweden Team this year. They have each been a huge blessing to us; Esther, Karsen, Caleb, Ben, Melodey, David, Adaline, Lizzy, Rivers, Ransom, Justus, Aiden, Madison, Brennen, Nora, Bobby, and Hope. We have such an incredible team! This Boot Camp it’s been hot, humid, and muggy! The last two days, we got some pretty heavy rain storms but praise the Lord that most of our stuff has stayed dry and we have stayed in good spirits! The rain has brought our team together and seeing them work together through it makes us laugh as the Lord sometimes has a funny way of answering our prayers when we pray, “Please bring our team closer together in unity.” Although, that has already been on display throughout the Obstacle Course (OC) portion of our training. The Sweden Team has decided, as team members, to do their best to run it together. It has been one of the most encouraging things I (Ms. Bekah) have ever seen. They rally together and encourage each other. Praise the Lord! And continue to pray for strength and for the Spirit to continue to work with each of the team members and leaders this summer. Today, we had our Sunday church service in the Big Top with a special message from Bob Lane, who is a legend here as he’s been working here at Teen Missions for 50 years now! Our team is taking a slower day and are looking forward to the pool and pizza. In looking ahead to the last week of Boot Camp we are excited to jump into new classes, crushing it at the OC, and growing together as we share how the Lord is working in our lives. Six more days!!

Esther: “This past week at TMI (Teen Missions International) has been hard but a lot of fun too. Over this past week God has been teaching me that if He is Lord of my life, He has to be Lord of ALL of my life.”

Hope: “This week the Lord has taught me about perseverance and pushing through difficult times. Philippians 4:13 reflects these thoughts.”

Adaline: “Dear Mom and Dad, Boot Camp is great and the LORD is teaching me so much! Happy Father’s Day!”
