Today we began our second week of Exuma Christian Youth Camp and it was a good day for campers and staff alike. Our numbers were low due to it being the second week and the change in the location of camp, but it was the beginning of another great week. Our camper count today was 16, a good number for Monday. As usual we beging each day with singing and today Steve McQueen, his son Stephen and Zach Crowder were our song leaders.



Our Bible classes this week are being taught by Catheryne Porter of Charleston, South Carolina. Catheryne, also a 2008 Team Member, was in Germany last week we are thankful that she made it back in time to be with us in camp this week.


This week Suzette McQueen and her sister, Natasha Campbell, are leading our campers in crafts this week. Natasha, who has been living with the McQueens for a few months, will soon be going back to her home in Ft. Lauderdale.


Two of our first week campers, Kaitlyn Richardson and Savanna McQueen, are this week serving as Jr. Counselors and doing a great job.


This morning Gaye Tate and Joyce Gowin left camp in preparation for returning to the U.S. Gaye has made seven trips to exuma, both on door-knocking and camp missions. Joyce has served for five years as our crafts coordinator.


Today there was no rain.....overcast skys and fewer mosquitoes flying about. That makes for a good day. Add that to the fact that we have great group of campers and we are calling today a great day.


Also, today was the first day for Nancy Haguewood and Kim Clark to be serving as cooks. It was a great day in the kitchen and we are looking forward to a continued great week.


Thanks for all the prayers and support from our family members and friends.


We also thank our family memebers and others for your prayers and support.
