A very fun, education camp!

Posted by on Friday, September 7th, 2012

NTM Paraguay has a Team dedicated to the care and education of missionary kids. In August, they invited the parents of elementary age children to an Education Camp for 3 days! We made the 5 hour journey and were greatly blessed and refreshed. While our children enjoyed camp, we spent hours of fellowship with Mike’s sister and family and the other missionaries there.

Education Camp was a highlight for our three children as they grew not only in greater knowledge of Medieval Times, but also in the Word of God.

On the final day, we all had a “strange meal” together based on foods and customs of old.

Our children… are excelling in their home school program.
