P:C - A Plethora of Blessings

At the Frankfurt airport, Project: Camp leaders picked us up. Within five minutes, I knew that every one of them was God-fearing and passionate. Their authenticity inspired me!

After delivering fliers to people’s mailboxes, I was waiting at the main train station, talking with my cousin. There was a little extra space on the bench, and a lady, in German, asked to sit. We continued our conversation in English. The lady then asked us if we were from America. We told her yes, and when she asked why we were here, we told her about First Supper. She probed further, asking more faith questions, and then asked for the phone number of someone who could give her good directions to First Supper. Even though we finished passing out fliers a little early, God was not done with us.

I have never had so much fun picking up trash and clearing out a dirty pond!

After meeting Michelle while picking up trash, I wanted to say hello following the message at First Supper. I approached her, and as she turned around I noticed she had been crying. She told me, “He got me on that one.” She proceeded to tell me that she had invited other friends to come. She told them that she did not have all the answers yet, but someone here would. To see her come closer to Christ was amazing. It had been a long time since I have seen or been a part of that moment. She blessed me with her vulnerable nature and willingness and excitement to lean toward God!

Sergio received a Project: Camp T-shirt. On Saturday night at First Supper he went around having Project: Camp members sign his shirt. The smile on his face and the joy that he gave off blessed me.
