Project Destiny Update

Hi everyone!

So I figured since Project Destiny is taking over so much of my time (and life...) I should do a quick background information blurb on it and a quick update on how it's going.

 Project Destiny is a 5-week day camp based in Chinatown Boston. The purpose of Project Destiny is to glorify God through serving the Chinatown community, bringing campers to know more of Christ, and to offer life-changing urban ministry experience to its staff. During these 5 weeks, not only do we provide really cheap day care for these middle schoolers, we also teach classes, bring them on field trips, play games with them, but most importantly, we get the privilege of getting to know them and loving them!

Camp for the campers officially starts this Tuesday. Up until now, we've been having staff training, learning about things ranging from how to teach a class, how to lead a small group, conflict management, first aid, to where the cleaning supplies are. I have had such a great time getting to know this awesomely talented team. Besides sitting in the basement or 2nd floor of 249, we have also been camping and having a really fun time doing things together. Here are some photos:

And I present to you, ladies and gents, staff camping trip 2011.

 Yup. As for prayer requests, please please please continue to pray for our team. We've been living and working together for 2 weeks already. 5.5 more weeks to go! Pray for team unity. Pray that campers will see Christ in the way that we love each other. And lastly, pray that we will trust in God to provide strength for us mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Thank you for all who have been praying for me and supporting me this summer! I can't wait to hear about what He's doing in your lives as well :)

Have a great July 4th weekend! I know I'll be celebrating with fireworks and colonial soldiers.
