Matthew 9:19-21

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

We had around 79 decisions (out of almost 150 campers) last night. Once Zaba (the camp director this week) sits down with the counselors today, we'll know better what the decisions were. But 79 stayed following the message to pray. It was very exciting!

Yesterday, we were able to take our group into Tomascow and show them the new Tomy Church. This is a very exciting week for the Tomy Church as they are working with a Polish organization called Real Hope. Churches from the states and from Holland are here working throughout the city doing various work projects that the city gave Tomy to do! This week-long project is called Real Action. Each evening they have a time of worship and teaching (in a different part of the city I believe), which people from the city are welcome to come and attend. We got to see two groups working yesterday while in Tomascow. One was painting the fence around a soccer field and the other was installing a beautiful, large playground area. This playground area is right below the McDonald's (it sits on a hill), with the walking path going right by it into a park. We got to see people stopping and asking the workers questions, etc. Tonight they are having a concert in the park at 8pm. I believe it's a hip hop Christian artist! We have the campfire tonight and then the talent show, so I know we'll be staying around here...but would you pray for the Real Action Group and the impact this week is having on the community?

God is so good. Let's pray that we would all focus on storing up for ourselves treasures in heaven!!!!
