That’s all for now
Retreat is a memory now. Pictures and videos are posted to help us remember.
I’m working on a Shutterfly photobook of JAF Retreat 2008. The JAF-MN office will send a letter to campers and volunteers with info about how to see the book and how to order if desired.
So that’s the end of this chapter of this blog. Nations-be-glad will return when it’s time for another venture into some part of God’s world outside my normal life, whether nearby or farther away.
In the meantime, I’m looking forward to JAF Family Retreat in 2009!

Magdalene’s Song for Joni
Magdalene Nungu from Cameroon has a tradition of bringing a new song to Joni each time she sees her. She teaches Joni a song in Pidgin English and they sing it together.
This trip, she didn’t have the chance to see Joni, so she sang the song solo for all of us at retreat, with a 5-gallon plastic pail as a drum.

Photo Information
All the camp photos are posted at Kodak Gallery. I pray they will bless you with pleasure and good memories.
1. Group Photos –
There are 2 sets each of the group in three sections –right, center, left. This gives you the option to find the grouping that shows your family best. There is also a panorama, but this is my first effort at merging photos and it’s not entirely successful.
2. All the Retreat photos , including some by other campers. You won’t want all of these, but I hope you will find some you like of you, your family and friends, and your STM.
3. Video clips from testimonies on the last day of camp –
4. Video clips of the children at the CEFED Special Education Home and School, a large part of Magdalene Nungu’s ministry in Cameroon, which was highlighted one morning during the Adult Ministry time. These will give a small glimpse into the drastically different life there of a child with disabilities and of the huge difference a few caring people can make in Jesus’ name — Welcome Song — I Will Dance for You, O Lord — I Want to Go to School — Amazing Grace (name that tune!).
