CEF Camp in Wladyslawowo

For two weeks at the beginning of August, I traveled north to the Baltic coast for camp with Child Evangelism Fellowship.  The trip there, 9 ½ hours on a train with 4 children I was responsible for, was only the beginning of the excitement.  At camp I helped as a counselor for the older girls (ages 12-14) and taught elective English classes for beginners.  It was tough being “on-call” and using Polish all day, and sometimes felt like I wasn’t much help, but I had a wonderful time and saw improvement in my language skills during those two weeks, especially since I was the only non-Polish person there!  In the middle of camp, I started to not feel well, and ended up going to the doctor and then having to stay in my room for a couple of days to get better.  I was eager to get back to work, though, as Monika (the other counselor I was working with) was responsible for all 17 of our girls while I was sick!  During camp I stretched my language-learning even further by sharing my testimony with the entire group of 89 children in one of our evening meetings!  Later I shared a more detailed testimony with our group of girls in our evening devotional time.  By the end of camp I was exhausted, but it was worth all of the work, knowing that several children (at least 10 that we know about) left camp as new believers in Jesus Christ!
