Life in the Shop | Keeping up with Adam Alexander and the CFC Sr. High

Monday Update

I got a call right as I was getting ready to shut down the computer!

First of all- an update from last night after I talked to Adam. The team went up on the mountain to watch the sunset and have a time of worship. They spent about an hour and a half worshiping the Lord. He just opened up the time to everyone to read or quote scripture. He said that the Lord’s name was praised and it was an amazing time. He said to tell you parents that, “you have raised great kids who love Jesus.”

Today the group divided up into 5 different work groups for construction. One group of girls painted buildings. Another group of girls painted the fence and sanded tables around the camp. A group of guys dug up tree stumps and cut up trees. A group of girls and guys moved dirt piles so that sidewalks could be made. Adam’s group moved 3-4 tons of rock with wheel barrels so that cement could be laid and walls could be built. He said his muscles were pretty sore.

In the afternoon about 35 kids came to camp. They did crafts, chalk, basketball, and wrestling. Adam said the kids had a really good time.

Tomorrow will be the same schedule. Construction in the morning and kids in the afternoon. Tomorrow night they will invite the kids back to watch the Jesus Film. Pray that lots of kids come to camp tomorrow so they can receive this invitation and then bring back their family members! If any of you were at the missions conference this past year at CFC you know the impact the Jesus Film has had in countries all around the world. Pray for an impact in this little village by this film- and God’s word!

Adam says everyone is healthy and trying to drink enough water with all of the work they are doing! :) I’m glad I got to get an update to you guys today- even if it is a little late. Adam reminded me that in a week he will be home. I told him that felt like forever- but he seemed to think it was coming up fast. Haha. I guess their time is flying- and time only flies when you have fun right?

Thank you so much for the daily update and sharing your heart w/us. The greatest compliment we can receive is that we have raised kids that love Jesus! We are so thankful for a church that focuses on truly knowing Him and making Him known…and for youth leaders who love our kids like their own and provide such a great role model for our kids. I am at peace everyday while they are gone, knowing they are in God’s hands.
