The Stars...


Last night was the closing nigth for camp. All of the diferent groups got up on stage or showed their final project for the week. It was a very cool experience....that lasted about three and a half hours. Don't get me wrong, we needed to honor all the groups, but it was the longest session ever!

We got out of the session at about 11:30, and got all the campers off to bed. Our team came over to the office/studio and started the clean-up process. We got all the Media Challenge equipment put away and packed up. We had to say many of our good bys last night because the team from Arizona was going to Krakow to spend the day, and then they were staying the night. (The don't leave until Monday so.) We also had to say good by to Tomec and Archie because they are gone all day and for the evening as well.

So, after all this was over, a group of us headed out to the basketball courts at the back of the camp to go star gazing. I took the camera and got some really awesome shots. I will have them up later.

We laid there for a little over two hours...just talking and laughing and enjoying each others company.

It was amazing just to look up at the stars and see what God had created. How could anybody deny the face that Jesus was real? Who could have created something so amazingly beautiful...other than God? It seemed simple to us, but the world doesn't seem to understand.

We have had an amazing couple of weeks, and I am sad to have to leave. We have built new friendships, partnerships, and memories that will last a lifetime!

Our team has learned a lot while in the beautiful country of Poland. We have fallen in love with the people here, and the work that PROeM Ministries is doing. The only thing we really haven't fallen in love with is the food...well...some of the food! We have had some deliscious dishes...and we have had some not so deliscious dishes.

Poland had taught us a lot about who God is to each of us...and it's different for everybody. All we can say is this has been an amazing experice. We are truly blessed that we have been able to journey and do life with each other for the past two or so weeks.

The stories will continue...but until then...HALO!
