Frontline Bible Church Puerto Rico Team: 22 now becomes 102…

A team of 80 camp leaders arrived this afternoon. These camp leaders spent the summer leading work camps all across the states for thousands of teens. Some of the teams performed work projects and others service activities, like feeding the homeless in many inner cities across the US. For many, their time at Campamento del Caribe, PR is a highlight. Exhausted after a long summer they feel energized coming together worshiping, sharing, and evaluating their summer. During their stay they plan to use the camp as a base to serve the local community. This is yet another way Campamento del Caribe is ministering to the community. The leaders have commented how much they appreciate the camp. It is so rewarding to see the investment of FBC’s PR team being used in such a vital way.

The team continued the good work painting, repairing, building, roofing, and power washing.

• Aubree and Kathy M. were able to complete the first coat of patch work on their second roof today. Great work ladies as this is very hot work.
• Lauren, Johnny, Sam, Mike, Tiffany, Erin, Lexi, Shari, Justin, and Kathy D. made terrific progress on priming and painting the missionaries’ houses.
• Amy returned to power washing duties, this time accompanied by Dwayne managing the power sprayer.
• The camp’s maintenance director, Dave, expressed appreciation for Dave F.’s and John’s work on the camp vehicles.
• Doris, Amber F., Dan and Troyce continued screen duty. They were able to finish making/fixing the screens in the dining hall area.

We heard additional information about Sunday’s deliverance by the falls. One of the rescue workers that trekked across the mountain to get the 19 stranded people on the cliff’s edge was not even a rescue worker, he was a mechanic. He just happened to be working on the rescuers car when the emergency call came in. The actual emergency rescue technician asked his mechanic if he wanted to tag along and the mechanic said, “sure.” When the rescue workers arrived at the scene they had to deal with a situation they had never had to deal with before, rescuing swimmers from the other side of the river. The mechanic was also a native and told the rescue team that he knew of a way to get to the stranded swimmers on the cliff without having to pull them to safety through the raging falls. With one of a kind local knowledge of the terrain, the mechanic led the rescue team through the rain forest to the stranded group. PTL…Looking back one can see God’s invisible hand responding to the many prayers protecting the team.
