Day #6- Kimber Beam

Hey from Albania! This is Kimber Beam.  I wanted to take a second and tell you a little bit of what we have been doing and what God has done and how He has showed up.  Today was the second day of our camp with the local kids and I was assigned to the gypsy camp that was taking place in a park in the town.  I wasn’t very sure of what to expect or how any of the children were with their walk with God and if they even knew of him.  We sat at the sports school where the camp was taking place and anxiously awaited the bus of about 20-25 mothers and children to arrive.  Once they got there we went off on our 15-20 minute hike to the park and took the opportunity to become familiar with the kids and the mothers.  Once we had arrived we started a small reading of a bible story in a childrens book (with help from a interpreter of course).  After the bible story we discovers that the majority of the gypsys had at least heard of God which was very encouraging.  We played with the kids and was very blessed just to hang out with them and love on them.  As Taylor mentioned many of us had an incredible encounter with God last night.  I felt extremely overwhelmed by His unfailing love.  I have never felt the presence of God like that before.  I am extremely excited to see what God does in this city and these extremely extremely sweet hearted people of Albania! Thank you for all the prayers and we will see you soon!
