Be strong!

So this past weekend, I got to meet our staff. What an amazing group! These staffers have such energy that there is no way a camper will sit still!

Which they should not be sitting still because the theme is WARRIOR!! We bring the campers in day one and introduce them to this kingdom where we need to gather more metal for food. Throughout this experience we hope to give the students a chance to break free from their comfort zone in order to further strengthen their leadership qualities. Therefore, we think that running around all week in British accents and work to earn scruples hoping to break them from the normality.

This week we have gotten to see a few campers as we shadow the teams. One girl particularly stood out to me. Rather she stood up to me. She recognized me from camp last year and began to share that she wanted to grow in her faith through leadership, but felt uncertain her ability to take those next steps. This would push her out of her comfort zone tremendously because she would need to speak up and be bold! Please be in prayer that this week she gains the courage to step forward and lead.

Staff 1’s camp is going great and continues until Friday. Please pray for these campers because this week I have heard that they are spiritually dead. Bring them forward in your prayers because they have two more nights of worship before they go back to normalcy.

Pretty uneventful week for our staff as we go through orientation. Pray for stamina and focus as we fill in blanks, learn dramas, and perfect games.

Spark notes:

Prayer: Camper to gain confidence to lead

Campers this week gain a spiritual life.

Our staff focuses and maintains energy as we finish orientation.

Challenge: Read Joshua 1 and take the challenge from verse 9. As I read through this the other day in quiet time, it opened up my heart to realize that God has commanded me to move forward. And I can be strong in him because "the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

Well, almost lights out! Much love and God Bless!!
