This past Thursday, I had the opportunity to witness the process of the members of Roblealto's new House for Adolescents start making their Family Covenant.
Every house at the Bible Home makes a Family Covenant each year for its members. At the House for Adolescents (AKA Casa Barva) we started by listing all the virtues essential to life there. Then, there was time to vote and democratically narrow it down to the top 7. Each time the music stopped, people had to put a sticker on a virtue. It was definitely cooler than just raising hands. After choosing the top 7, we took 4 minutes to list the ways to NOT show each virtue, and then another 4 to say how we COULD demonstrate each virtue positively. The child psychologist and house parents take over from there, but it was a lot of fun. At supper time, we also had a lot of fun telling stories: the house parents, the child psychologist and his wife, the assistant director and his wife were all telling stories of how they met and got engaged. One broke up with the girl the same day he proposed, another preached on Gideon to the girl before asking her out, etc. We laughed a lot!In other news-CAMP STARTS ON FRIDAY!!! Please pray for all the staff and leaders, for all the final preparations to come together, for everyone to be healthy, and for God to work powerfully in the hearts and lives of all our dear campers.
Thank you!
I can't wait to tell you how it went!
Love,
Carrie
