Today was a day filled with different fun things (including a nap) after the evening Bible lesson I was able to talk to and pray with two of my campers about areas in their life that they want to take further with God.

Tonight I arrived late at CRC. So far my cabin looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. Arthur is the Sr. Counselor. I’ve been able to befriend several campers already.

Today I made copies for Sharon Benner then worked on The Wall until lunch. Following lunch there was a staff prayer time. I then took some time to read one of John’s reading assignments. Then through the afternoon I helped Sharon and worked on The Wall. This evening I had a soothing time of private worship.

This morning Jay Smith gave us a whilwind tour of the British Museum and the British Library. On the tour he gave amazing historical answers supporting our scriptures. Also he showed that the same tests our scriptures pass with flying colors, cast serious doubt on Muslim claims about the Qu’ran.

These last two weeks I feel God has been growing me in the area of prayer. God has graciously altered both the spiritual and the physical climate in response to my prayers, I have enjoyed extended times of prayer.
This trip has shown me the beauty of other cultures.

Today God again answered my prayers. It was severely overcast and we went out to do book table evangelism and tracting. It started raining as soon as we got out of the van. I asked that it would stop raining and that God would give us beautiful weather. Shortly after I realized that the rain had stopped, then sun was out, and the air had pleasantly warmed. It was more than I had asked or imagined.

***Two other times during my trip God answered specific prayers. Unfortunately I failed to journal about them at the time. The first was during our time of park evangelism. Things were going crazy: Rather than several kids going in an orderly way through several organized activity stations, we had three gypsy children and about four other children wanting to use whatever equipment we didn’t have out. Instead of interacting with the children and their parents, we were being kept busy keeping them from tearing things apart. Part way through the afternoon a group from a local church joined us to do a puppet show. While they were setting up a drunk man came and cursed at them, telling them to set up somewhere else. When some other people from our team joined us (they had been playing soccer to make contact with people in the park) I went off by myself and prayed. I returned to find Erin having a meaningful talk with the three gypsy women and Marcus interacting with an Iraqi couple. I believe the change in the spiritual atmosphere occurred because God responded to his people’s prayers.
The other answer to prayer I failed to journal about was a second time God stopped the rain while we were out tracting. Praise Him! ***
