Enjoy the highlights from our last full day at Teen Camp 2010!
Group shot with new t-shirts
Thompson family with their new t-shirts. I did not take a close-up picture of the t-shirts, but if you look closely you can see that there is a cross in between a tree... with one side dead and one side growing bountifully. The theme this week was "Grow in Christ," and the clipart was graciously sent to us by a supporting church
Igor and Lena (who will be married soon) have been David's hardest-working leaders, so he rewarded them with money for their wedding.
Winning young men's room from room check. They learned the secret of hiding everything and even added their own secret.... when I walked in, it was obvious they had sprayed the room down with cologne!
Our fearful leader and director of camp this week, my hubby David. Thank you, Sweetheart, for all you put into this fantastic week!

Teens and leaders wearing t-shirts from Golden State Baptist College in Santa Clara, California. This is where the Thompsons are from and they graciously brought these t-shirts for us to use at our own discretion. Some were given away to leaders, but the five teens who are in this picture earned them by saying their Scripture verses the quickest and this is what they chose from our "store." It was a first-come, first-serve basis and all of the teens really wanted them!
Pastor Bob and David taking a moment to rest
Game time
Tiffany Thompson brought another wonderful lesson to the young ladies about the importance of purity
Game - The first one to blow the ping pong ball out of the bowl won (harder than it looks!)
The young man in the glasses was saved today!
The leaders played the same game, only they were blindfolded to hide the fact that flour was put into their bowls!
David, enjoying running the various games!
We also gave out free CDs to each teen and worker. Good Christian music is hard to come by in Russian, so we were thrilled to find these CDs, get them at a bulk discount, and give them out
Bro. Thompson preached another stirring message, encouraging the teens not to forget the decisions that they made during the week of camp. He also gave them each a packet of seeds to use as a reminder to let the "seeds" that were planted in their hearts this week to grow
Bro. Thompson also gave out more Reese's to those who could answer questions about the previous lessons and sermons from the week
After services, Bro. Shrock used his balloon talents to make balloon animals for each member of his team. It was very dark outside, which should explain the low quality of the picture We are all very tired, but David and Bro. Thompson are already gearing up for a trip to Israel which they will be going on, beginning tomorrow (Friday) night. Please be praying for them and this 6-day, life-changing experience. Tiffany and I will be staying in Ukraine with our combined 6 treasures. Please pray for all of us!
