Family Camp 2015

In July, our home church of Quail Springs in Oklahoma came to help us run our first-ever Family Bible English Camp !!
The team arrived 2 days early to see our city and get over jetlag.....




Then we headed to the mountain city of Zakopane !!  The rest of our team from all over Poland met us there and we set up and got organized......



For five days, we lived in the above hotel with 95 other people from Krakow and Warsaw, Poland.  We had beautiful views of God's creation, but we "journeyed off the map" in VBS with the kids at our camp!  While our QSBC team worked with the kids, there was also a team that worked with youth and a full adult program of English classes and Bible discussion groups.












We made great connections with families from Krakow!   We had one profession of faith among the adults (one of Kaleb's teachers from school), and several others who are struggling through some hard concepts of discipleship to Christ such as forgiveness and grace.  Even our translators, (those who thought they were only coming to serve) were touched by the Spirit and moved to respond to the teaching of the Holy Spirit !!
We are so thankful for the success of this "first" for us, and the team from QSBC was such a key part of the success of this camp.  Many of the Polish parents commented on how well their kids were taken care of by our team of Americans.  We built a ton of trust during the week.  Many are already asking about the dates and location of the next camp !!!
To HIM be the GLORY!!!!
