Ready. Set. Go…Again!

Well, it's been a little more than six months since our last blog and much has happened.  We are one day away from leaving for our 2nd trip to Barbados and a week away from our 3rd trip to Jamaica.   All the planning has been done, the bags are packed, and we are ready to be on a plane.  I know the team is ready too!  And so are the Bajans and Jamaican campers…the Facebook chatter is at a fever pitch.  Please continue your prayers for a safe and productive journey and for many hearts to be moved and changed.

Had a great time at the Summit in San Antonio.  Jennifer and I got to meet with leaders from Brazil and as a result Brazil  will be Swamp Corps' next destination in 2013.  In fact, they are sending two people to Jamaica to see camp and how it works.  Amazing!  We also met for breakfast with Dr. Ashok from Chennai, India ( he leads the HOPE work there and the leader of the Chennai church) and there at breakfast Skyped with their camp director.  We plan to go there in 2014…they hope to send their directors to The Swamp in 2013 for a couple of weeks.  We were also invited to a gathering of people from the Far East during which we met with some leaders of a church in Cambodia; after a lengthy Q&A/discussion session, they asked when we could come there!  2015!  God is gracious and it seems there is a need out there for kids to have a safe place like The Swamp to learn and grow.

Pray for wisdom and resources as we watch this unfold.

Our my love, Jeff
