What I learned from Camp Victor…
Thoughts, lessons, memories, and simple reflections…

I learned that you can’t judge a book by its cover; Camp Victor may not look like much on the outside, but it is a place that many many people call home while they are in Mississippi serving those in the area. Over the last week it has become home to our team and we have been very blessed during our stay. The Camp bears the marks of many of those who have stayed before us and will bear our logo for those who stay after us to see.
I learned that there are many other brothers and sisters in Christ all over the country that are faithfully serving in Mississippi.
What got to me, was how friendly everybody was to each other.
With all the stuff that is going on in the world today, I’ve learned and remember that there are still many people who love Christ and others.
I’ll remember having lots to read on the wall. Watch out for bed bugs!
In the midst of Camp Victor’s hodgepodge decor, inconvenient bathroom faculties, and crowded noisy sleeping areas, is a place of caring and enfolding and grace.
I learned that Camp Victor is a ministry that provides house repair services to current home owners who cannot fund or perform the repair themselves.
I learned that Eddie, who cooks dinner also washes dishes and cleans the kitchen with a big smile and a song in his heart. But sadly sometimes none of the guests at Camp Victor volunteer to help so he has to stay late!
Though not having the ideal sleeping conditions for me, I will remember Camp Victor as a place for people with the same purpose…to help people in the community.
I learned that an old factory building, used of God, can make a huge difference in the world.
I always had hot water for my shower and the bathrooms were clean.
Rain, Rain, Go Away…
Today we were blessed with rain in the latter half of the day. As a result we had to come back from the work site about an hour early. It was a blessing from the Lord; in that we were able to relax a bit more than usual as a team, and spend some quality time together.
Our day though it was cut short was filled with fun as we continued to build relationships with our supervisor Jamie and our Americorps workers, Joel, Mike, and Steve. We were also blessed to meet a volunteer college student named Mariah. A few highlights were: finally finishing the deck, getting the roof to pass inspection, and the awesomely cool and breezy weather (pre storm)
Please pray for the weather, it is threatening to rain tomorrow, which will prevent us from continuing our work at the site. Pray that whatever happens we would do what God desires us to do with our time tomorrow. Pray also for our time at Antioch, that we would each individually receive from the Lord what he desires us to get on this trip. Finally if you could pray for the houses we worked on specifically, we will be praying along side you all, for the future owners, and all that goes on at those locations.
