Born in Prague
I was born today (written on 8-8), not in Prague however.....
There is much meaning to the phrase "born in Prague" for me today. Camps are over. Debriefing is beginning and there is so much that I need to bring with me to enter into going home and being in the "real" world again.
I hate saying "real world" because I feel like this is the real world in most ways compared to being in every day life at home.
English camp with the Bohumilice church and the Russian Vine church stretched our team. I remember hearing one of our leaders saying " if you don't have troubles with your camps, and you aren't being challenged....there is something wrong ", and being in the middle of the turmoil made me realize that there was something extremely right happening. We were forced to rely on God's words and also to rely on Him to give each next step.
When you are in the place of myself and the other people that are here serving for the summer, it is so hard to relay God's doings. I wish I knew how to tell you every small and big thing that God did to make this summer happen. He creates the dynamic of the camps through us and it is usually in ways we didn't expect. I know you all are interested to see and hear what God did specifically. I also know that you love pictures. I can give you pictures right now and when I get home (3 weeks) I will blog about some specific students and how they changed over the summer.
Ephesians 4:17-24 talks about life before being taught by Christ. In our missionary meeting this morning, we talked about how that passage not only talks about before becoming Christians, but it mirrors our experience here and for our return home.
