Videos from Camp

Our seminary retreat ended yesterday, and I am gradually getting back into the "normal" rhythm of life. Speaking of rhythm, we were blessed with some great musical numbers by our seminary students this last week. Below are some videos, beginning with a Ron Hamilton number done by our ladies' quartet.

Not to be outdone, the newly-formed guy's quartet tackled an Acapella number.

Next up, the seminary choir singing "Great is the Lord."

Finally, we have this year's graduating class singing a Brazilian chorus, the title of which is "I Want to Do Your Will, Lord." The guy blowing his own horn in the background is yours truly.

A Blast from the Past

While staying with friends from "way back" in Fortaleza last week, I was shown this picture.

In case you were wondering, that is Yours Truly on the far left, hat stylishly on backwards, empty Coke can in hand. The picture was taken on Treasure Island in December of 1995. The white-haired gentleman second from the right is missionary Harold Reiner.

Late Breaking Video

I just came across a couple videos posted by a camper from last week. The first one is of the "battle cry" of one of the teams, named "Sarrabulho".

These teens REALLY get into their competition.

The second one I was really glad to find. It was of an improvised choir the speaker put together...using an arrangement they came up with as they practiced.

After that service I commented to the speaker how I appreciated the American blues feel to the tune. He said "Yes, we did that just for you." I was touched.

Another Video

This one is a "highlights reel" of teen week.

Music Video

I am back from camp, nursing a nasty cough and sore throat, and trying to catch up all that I can before vacation next week.

One thing that needs to be caught up is blogging. There are pictures reports from the two missions teams that were with us, as well as from two weeks of camp.

I thought I would start out with this little music video put together by some of the staff and campers last week. What I find amazing is the quality of the video given the fact that they all they had to work with was a handheld camera and a laptop.

Enjoy.
