Prayers Answered!!

Praise God for a wonderful 1st camp!!

Our theme, as you can see above, was and will be for our first camp season in January-February of 2009, Indiana Jones and the Sword of the Kingdom. With the new Indiana Jones movie coming out in December of 2008, we thought it would be cool to make a play off it for our theme.

Both Shannon and I got to do our first public speaking in Portugues at this camp. We each prepared our talks in English, translated them to Portugues, got them corrected and practiced reading them over and over and over till we ran out of time and needed to give our talks. We did pretty well, if I must say so. Everyone understood what we were talking about and even helped out with our pronunciation when we needed help.




The kids also got involved whereever they could. Jaden along with the Bulher kids were in charge of running the "Barzinho" or tuck shop. They did a great job of serving everyone.



Jasper helped out with the band as they lead worship. She had a blast and did a lot of drawing on the side.



Jessi stuck closer to the kitchen, for more than just the food. Lidi's parents were cooking for us and they are like grandparents to our kids. Jessi loves to be with "vovô" (grandpa) and "vovó" (grandma).



This is a picture of the wonderful Staff that help us out with running this camp. We praise God for their willingness to serve in this way.



Give us about a week or so and we will have the webiste up to date with info about the camp. Check it out at http://www.questbr.com/.

Our plans are to run this same staff training camp again in July during the University break for those who where not able to join us this time. We are already having people asking us about when the next time will be. So we are looking forward to that

Please continue to pray for God to supply for the property we belive he has shown us as the home for Quest. We have until March 15th to come up with the down payment of R$275,000 (or $162,000 Cdn). We believe that God will provide for this property in his time and in his way. Please pray with us to that end. You can see pictures of the property we are looking at by visiting our blog spot at http://www.questbr.blogspot.com/.

Thanks for your prayers throughout the past few weeks and for those you will give up on our behalf in the weeks to come.
