We are less than 10 hours away from departing for the Dead Sea to begin camp!! We are so excited for all that God has in store for this very special time with the 75 Palestinian kids and leaders from Zabebdeh and Bethlehem. The assignment team (Hunter (speaker), Dan and PJ (program) and Alysia and I (workcrew, photographers, meal preppers, whatever-else-needs-to-get-doners) have spent the last 4 days planning and praying and preparing for this amazing opportunity to create an experience for these kids they will never forget. The pre-planning is now over and we are out of time to rework or rethink anything else..."holis" as they say in arabic...meaning "enough, fine, finished, no more needs to be done". It's a great word and used often here. So we pray God will fill in the gaps where we need Him. Please pray for us...and all the kids and leaders. Campers arrive at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. Blessings, lauri
