Today marks the last day of official Boot Camp classes and training as the next two will be in preparation for Commissioning and Pack Out day. There is an undeniable excitement in the air as the team overcame the midweek tiredness. A big factor is the rally last night, in which God used both the worship team and speaker to work with the kids and the response was incredible. They gathered arm in arm at the altar and were renewed in their desire to serve the Lord "fearlessly." Their comradery was strengthened this morning at the wall as they were able to lift most of the team members over, an exciting feat for the last day of the obstacle course. Among their favorite activities are drama classes and team building games between dinner and rally. In free time, the kids gather together and practice music while enjoying each other's company. They get to swim in the pool today, another favorite activity as it is a relief from midday heat. It is a blessing to see how the kids are always so willing to pray for and support one another. In music, they are learning a song in Spanish, "Jesucristo te ama" as well as a fun song in Swahili during the rally. They are performing their presentation today, complete with two testimonies, three worship songs, and a puppet show. Everyone is looking forward to a rainless, mosquito-less time in Ecuador to be able to share the skills they have learned here to further the kingdom of God!
