Rogbere Day Camp

On Friday we met the people of Rogbere, and on Saturday we hosted a day camp for around 250-300 kids from the area. This day camp was very significant for them because this area was hit very hard by Ebola. Out of the 60 members of the pineapple farm cooperative, 9 of them died of Ebola. So for this village, this day camp was a joyous celebration coming at the end of a long period of sorrow.

Handing out tote bags

During our day camp on Saturday, we brought many gifts for the children: homemade party hats, bracelets, maracas,  and over 150 tote bags with school supplies in them. These tote bags were given to the school-aged children, and were sewn by Trinity Bible Church’s Piecemakers sewing group. Every child received a gift and every child had enough to eat!
 

Cady Schmidt shared a Gospel message with the children, and they were able to easily understand and recount the plan of salvation. Some of the children in the village are already Christians, and so for the others, we are praying that many seeds were planted.
