Safe Passages Camp


Yesterday and today, Samuel is attending Safe Passages Camp with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office. Yesterday, they went to the Discovery Place in Charlotte and today they are going canoeing in Columbia. There is an article in today's newspaper about the camp and they interviewed Samuel.

The camp is for children who have lost loved ones. This afternoon when they return from canoeing, they will have a remembrance service at the Sheriff's Office.

Samuel had a great time yesterday and met some new friends and was so excited to get to go canoeing. I will report tomorrow how canoeing went.

I am so proud of Samuel. I am so proud of the young man that he is becoming and how God is using him to share with others, and how he is concerned about others. This is part of the article in the newspaper:

Sometimes, Samuel said, it's good to talk about what happened. He remembered sharing his story with a friend whose grandfather had died.
It made his friend feel better, Samuel said. "And he made me feel a little better, too."

Please pray for him today and he would have fun and be safe.
