Day 32

Yay, I'm home. Let me tell you about my week.
I had nine campers and one assistant cabin leader. At first I wasn't sure if we were going to get time with each camper, but the week went very well.
Last week I asked you to pray that God would save one of the kids in my cabin. Praise God, He did!
I am so stoked! During our devotions one night we all went around and shared our testimonies. I was assuming that everyone was saved until it got to Randy. He shared how he had recently started attending a youth group, but that was all. That night I started praying that God would provide and opportunity for him to put his faith in Christ.
Randy had a hard time listening in chapel so he started reading his Bible. He was a fast reader and in only a few chapel sessions he had read through the book of Matthew. One night the speaker gave an invitation and encouraged the campers to talk with their cabin leaders about receiving Christ. Randy talked with my assistant cabin leader and he shared with me the next day that he had prayed to receive Christ.
As the week went on we were able to continue to encourage him and he was halfway through Mark when he left. Praise God for His saving work.
Although they were already saved, the other guys in my cabin were challenged to renew their walk with the Lord. You can pray for them that they would follow through.

This next week I will be going up to Jr High week at Camp Risen Son. Please pray that God would challenge the kids in my cabin. Jr. High is such a formative time.
Please pray that the campers would not be distracted from what the Lord is trying to tell them.
Please pray that I will learn what God has to teach me.
Thank you all so much for praying for me.
