This morning Daniela, from La Rocca Church, led our fifth Talk from John 21:3-19, showing kids how Alberto's love for Luca drove him to sacrifice himself for him! Yet Jesus did more than giving his life for Peter, because in his resurrection he defeated sin and death, so he was able to restore Peter, giving him his life!

Today we had lost of fun playing at Basketball and Ultimate Frisbee. 

 

Every afternoon Jenny taught conversational English and kids had the opportunity to engage with mother tongue speakers.

Since our first Exchange Camp in Budrio, Bethel Church of Houston, Texas, has faithfully partnered with us, sending year after year a team to make our camp possible. We’re thankful to the Lord for this great Gospel partnership!

#exchangebudrio22 Camp DAY4 - The Betrayal of Peter

 

 

4th day at the 2022 English Sport Camp Exchange Budrio.

 

 

 

This morning Yan, YfC Italy worker, led our fourth Talk from Luke 22:54-71, showing kids how, like Luca betraying his best friend Alberto, Peter because of fear of men, betrays Jesus, yet Jesus facing his accusers and the cross speaks them the truth without fear!

 

We had lots of fun playing at Human Fuss-ball & Texan Line Dancing.

Every day one of the American team is sharing a testimony connected with the theme of the day.

Today Joy shared her personal walk of faith with the Lord, engaging very well all the kids!

This morning Serena, from Forte Torre Church, led our third Talk from Luke 9:26-32 and 2 Peter 1:16-21, showing kids how, while Alberto is upset about Luca following Giulia's "voice", Jesus shows his disciples his divine nature, while God's voice says to them: "This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!"

This morning Josh, pastor of an Acts29 church plant in the nearby town of Imola, led our second Talk from Mark 8:21-33, showing kids how, while Luca and Alberto have to hide their identity, people are not ready to recognise Jesus' Identity. So he asks hi disciples: "who do you say that I am?"

We had lots of fun playing at Basketball & Ultimate Frisbee.

Every year we’ve been blessed by helpers coming from other churches. Join us in praying for the Gospel partnership amongst churches in Bologna and especially for Forte Torre, La Rocca and San Lazzaro church, who greatly helped at our camp this year!

Join us in praying for these kids, their families and the sport centre staff, that we'll be able to start and continue good relationships with them!
