Day 25

I'm spending the weekend here at the camp with about eight other people. Last week went amazing. Thanks you so much for praying.
God was really working the the hearts of the kids in my cabin. He was challenging me as well. Please pray for these campers as they go home that they will have the strength to live a new life. Some of the guys in my cabin came from some pretty hard stuff and going back will be difficult.
Please pray for this next week as i work at Fir Point's Jr high camp. There will be about three times as many kids so it could be a stressful week.
Pray that we as staff will not just be crowd control, but that we would be able to communicate on a meaningful level with the campers.
Pray that God will work in their hearts like He did last week.

Praise God that one camper accepted Christ last week. It was such an encouragement for me to hear. The counselor shared with me how the camper had been asking a lot of questions. He shared the gospel with him and then decided that the Lord wanted him to wait, so he didn't pressure the kid into making a decision. Later that night the kid pulled the counselor and his dad (who is also a counselor) aside and said he wanted to pray.
Again, they didn't force him, or even lead him in a prayer. Instead they waited an awkward thirty seconds before the kid poured his heart out to the Lord. It was such an encouragement to me to hear that.
Pray that I will get a chance to see someone come to the Lord in my cabin this week.
Thanks so much for praying.
