Here is a small view into Quest's first summer camp in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil.

Feel free to click on any of the pictures to enlarge them.

The God-sent staff...


A better view of the staff...


The "treasure map" that Indiana Jones sent the campers in order to find the Sword of the Kingdom, the Word of God...


Quest purchased 10 tents to become our "home away from home" for three weeks during camp season. Even with some rain, we were mostly dry...


Happy campers....



4 Square...a favorite past time.


Worship in song...


What better way to teach the parable of the seeds and soils than by planting seeds in various types of soil.


Skills offered this summer were Arts and Crafts, Archery and Survival.




Those of you who have watched Indy's movies know that he is always running into native tribes. Each cabin group created their own "tribe" and all came down to the lake with torches to the beat of a tribal drum. We ate off of banana leaves and the mosquitos ate off of us!!!



Then there was that RIDICULOUS evening that we would rather forget!!!




Campers were kept busy with games, ping pong, icebreakers and many other activities.




The pools were a COOL diversion in the HOT sun...




The river was a more natural experience. We had so much fun building dams and splashing each other. God's creation is INCREDIBLE!





The food was a success, especially the "Balge" (Ball-gee) as we affectionately called it in Portuguese, which was the surprise night snack delivered to each cabin every evening in a bucket. The chant rose up every night, "Balge, Balge!!!"





The parents joined us on Sunday for a short program and a delicious bar-b-que. They were amazed at the transformation they saw in their kids...God be praised!



Camp Sam is our "leaders-in-training" program. We gave it this name because in the Bible, Samuel was called as a young person to serve God in a powerful way. We want to encourage these youth to do the same in their churches, schools and jobs.




We thank you for your interest in Quest and all that God is doing here in Brazil. We ask for your continued prayers and support in furthering God's kingdom. May God find us all faithful!
