Junior One is a Wrap!
Hi Everyone,
We have come to the end of Junior One and it was a fun, hot, and tiring week! The campers came to camp with great enthusiasm and we were all ready to kick off our summer of ministry! The kids had so much fun despite the couple hot days we had. We battled heat exhaustion for both the camper and us as staff but we made it to the end with only a few campers going home because of being sick and homesickness. We are so thankful to have a beautiful lake at camp that we could jump in and cool off, which the campers greatly enjoyed this week! Junior campers have so much energy and we have a lot of fun playing the wide games, skills and chapel times with them.
The Holy Spirit was working in the hearts of our campers as lots of great questions were being asked in devotion times and through Glenda speaking God's Word in chapel. Glenda presented the Gospel by taking the campers through the armor of God. She spoke on the helmet of Salvation on Wednesday and our staff, Glenda and Dave were able to lead 20 campers to faith in Jesus. Please continue to pray for our campers as they head home, pray that the seeds that were planted here this week would find fertile soil and grow. Pray that the Word of God spoken by Glenda and the cabin leaders would resonate in their hearts and would take root.
Next Week: Junior Hi One
Sunday starts off with our next week of camp - Jr Hi 1! We have 132 campers registered between the ages of 12-14. We have a regular schedule with the addition of fun wide games and night games to play this week. These campers are a bit older so we do play different games with them, but the schedule stays the same.
Our speakers for Junior Hi 1 are Konrad and Jill Schulz. Pray for them as they share each day in our chapel sessions; pray that the Holy Spirit would work in the hearts of each person this week and that the Word of God would be spoken clearly.
Our volunteers are: Yvonne Fontaine, Patty Kidd, William Whately, and Susan Herbert - cooks; Pam Sharp - nurse; Rob Unruh - maintenance
Our LIT's this week: Calista Taylor, Jada Yaskow, Peyton Larson, Jocellyn King, Makayla Cochrane, Sam Lewis, Eli Friedt, Matt Rempel and Kaleb Leo.
Prayer Requests
Camp is a very busy place, and all our staff are working together as a community to serve God in sharing the Gospel to our campers. We can't do this on our own, we need God's help and guidance to achieve this great task He entrusted us with. Would you help us in praying for our staff, campers, and volunteers? Here are some prayer requests and praise items you can pray for:
