Autumn 2019

Dear Friends,

Behind the scenes of every camp, there is a lot of preparation of work. One of the major needs each year is finding the right people and filling all the necessary volunteer positions.

This year there was a major problem because most of the teenagers were working two or more jobs and Patty Cardona, director, needed full time teaching leaders plus a complete kitchen staff for preparing food for 125 campers plus 50 volunteers.

We flew in two full time leaders into Redwood City, California, from San Antonio, Texas. However, there was no staff for food service. So Patty asked a group of ladies outside the church who were getting help with food each week from a program run by Verbo.

Ladies in Orange T-Shirts helped in the preparation of the food.

“We really need help in the kitchen,” she told them, and they responded by saying they would come and help out at Camp.

The Ladies in Orange T-shirts took charge in the kitchen. As camp progressed, the ladies got to see and hear many good things. It is hard to miss good news when it is all around you for five days.

Thank the Lord for the good hearted Orange Ladies to help out in the kitchen for our kids.

Often, when we report on camp, it is about the children. This 15th Camp touched kids as well as adults. More families than ever came to the Sunday service and about 15 adults came to faith because of camp. Pastor Orlando Cardona gave a clear message to all the adults.

Ladies in Orange T-Shirts led in the games of the kids.

God is also at work in the kitchen at camp. “I became a Christian, so now I pray,” said one of the ladies in orange as she announced to the others!

Hallelujah! 
Praise our Heavenly Father!
Miracles do happen after all!


Sincerely,
