American Visitors

CERC had its annual church camp last week, and we were excited to welcome seven young adults from the United States who came to join us.  I need more time to gather pictures for a blog on the church camp itself but have a few pictures of the visitors who joined us.  Two were from Crete, one was from Hope PRC (Grand Rapids), and four were from Redlands.

They were able to spend a lot of time with the youth in Singapore outside the camp as well.

On Sunday there was a farewell dinner for them.  

If they answered questions incorrectly, 

all seven of them had to try some Chinese food.

Two of the visitors, the Buiters from Redlands, are still here and are able to attend most of this year's youth retreat, which began this afternoon.

And here is a group photo from Sunday:

What an encouragement to the church here that all these young adults came so far to attend our church camp.  We pray they may have been blessed by their time among God's people in Singapore too.
