As some of you may know I have been blessed with the opportunity to speak at this year's OBC Soccer Camp. 3 day and 2 night camp with about 19 kids up in the beautiful mountains of Okutama. OBC is situated on the side of a mountain, in a space of about 1 acre many amazing memories have been formed over the years for countless programs and camps.
We have about 10 staff in total and this morning after breakfast I led a very condensed staff training for those who have never worked at a camp before. We then had some time for prayer, a briefing on camp logistics and some time for worship. We then had a wonderful lunch of hot Japanese curry and coleslaw with fruit jelly for dessert.
Below are some photos of the camp at this time of year which is still early spring. The name 青梅 has to do with the plum blossom and since I've never been to Okutama at this time of year it has been a pleasant surprise to see all the plum blossoms coming into full bloom!
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for camper safety as they learn about soccer
- Please pray for receptive hearts during the message times
- Please pray for me as I share the gospel with the kids and staff
