Hi Everybody,
Praying for Peace and Progress |
This is Caden Camp from Camp’s Therapuetic Massage. Michael asked me to write a little something
about myself and why I have joined the “Río de Agua Viva” team. As much as I don’t like writing about myself,
I would do anything for my Cousin Michael! So here we go … I hope you like it!
I have been going down to Honduras with my dad and other
family members for almost 13 years. For
most of that time, I have lived in California, and I have used our trips
primarily to spend with family.
Last year I moved back to Alabama and get plenty of family time..HA!! After moving back, I joined the annual AHMEN International Medical Seminar team in August and
made so many friends on that team! I always return wanting to go back, but this year is a little different.
This year I have been training under the tutelage of both my
dad, Dr. Tom Camp, and my cousin, Michael Franklin. Being a part of the “behind the scenes”
planning for this team has been really neat.
I really had no idea how much planning there is in taking a mission team
out of the country. LOL! Dad and Michael, and our other team leaders
in training (Tito, T-Alto, and David Jones), and I constantly make phone calls, check on
fundraising, collect team info for airline tickets, and make sure everyone is
working on their projects. It has not
only been a great way to stay in touch with the team but a fun way of making
sure this ship sails for the long haul!

I also look forward to this team because it is going to be
an entirely new experience. “Río de Agua
Viva” is a 100% educational team. I
absolutely loved teaching massage therapy to the ASI-Cusuna Community Agents,
and I can’t wait to do the same with those of ASI-Belaire. I’m also really impressed with the group of
teenagers on our team. They will be leading
our VBS component for the kids of the jewelry making laides, and might I say, from what I’ve seen, they will do
great!

Most of all, though, I learn something new about myself and
about the world every time I go back to Honduras. I learn that people all around the world are
different, and that’s what makes the world so wonderful. I feel like I am who I am supposed to be when I work in the mission field.
One Team Leader and One In Training |
Won’t you please think about making a donation to our team
this year and joining us in Honduras next year?? Who knows…I might be your team leader!!
Love,
Caden
Together, we are the difference.
Hey Caden,
