2TIM42: Sports Camp Ends

27 October 2010

Sports Camp Ends

The Riverbend Bible Church 'Sports Camp' is all done and dusted for 2010. On Monday, the eight teams went home sunburned, tired from nonstop sport, sore with injuries, challenged about their walk with the Lord, invigorated by new friendships, and rejoicing in Christ. Mike Penberthy presented the gospel over the course of the weekend and spent a lot of time between sessions on the sports field talking with people about Christ. We are thanking the Lord for a very beneficial weekend.

Here are some photos of the various events. . .

Mike returned to the US yesterday and will be reunited with his family by now. Here is a photo of us with Sereena standing on a step :)
