Praise God, we had an incredible summer camp event - the Rocky Railway–Touchdown Camp, with the kids in Redwood City, CA. We are so grateful to everyone who had contributed to the camp and enable us to have camp this summer for the kids. Whether it was funding or in volunteer in service, you are being so blessed for all your kindness and help. You know the Lord sees your good deeds and you will be rewarded.

| Team leader professing There is so much involvement in organizing the camp. Like the preparation of food for 3 days, preparing the backpacks, planning the itinerary for the 3 days, preparing the sports and crafts things, inviting people to come give inspirational talks, prepared the theme for the camp all in loo to teach the kids about Jesus, intermingle with each other, learn and discover. |

It is also amazing to see that the teen kids who attended the camp before, come back to lead the younger kids in the camp games or crafts. Camp really does good for the kids. It teaches leadership, responsibility, accountability, love, kindness, faith and hope. Camps gives opportunities and a safe heaven for our American children.

| Performance on Stage |
After camp there was a Sunday service and the kids perform with all the life-stuffed animals on stage. Elaine, one of our board of directors gave a brief talk about what Project Lost Sheep was about and how the Lord touches our hearts to think of others instead of ourselves.

So happy to announce that Verbo is having the annual Touchdown camp for "at risk" kids again this year. We have been having this Touchdown Camp for the past 10 years. It was amazing how we did it, and so many times, we did not have enough funds or food or volunteers but in the last minute, the Lord always comes through for us. Talking about faith, we are a walking testimony, ask everyone!
It was a hard time last year and we did not have camp for the kids with the pandemic and all. Patty Cardona is heading this camp in July 19th to July 23rd 2021. With the Lord's help, he comes through for us again. We ask for and appreciate more support in funds and volunteers. Thank you Everyone ahead of time!
This mission is important because we are building good moral and character in our kids by having these camp. It is not just play and crafts, we teach the love of Jesus in ways that kids can understand. Yes this is Bible based, for we believe that Jesus is about LOVE. Love God with all our hearts, minds and soul. Love our neighbor as ourselves by putting others first, is a very important part of child development.
We want our future Americans to be kind, giving, considerate, unselfish, caring, tolerant, everything that 1Corinthians:23 teaches us. Unlike the world as we know today, we have become more into ourselves and into the me... me... me syndrome. The world will become a better place if more of us think about others first, in the work place, at home, at church or social gatherings. Would you like that? I know I would!
