Winter Camp
Hey everyone,
ROCKHARBOR and Mariners will be heading up the mountain with a bunch of children for winter camp this weekend. We're really excited and anxious to see what God does. Join us in the excitement by praying. Here are some things we could definitely use prayer for:
- Obviously, safety. Up the mountain and back, and the whole time we're there. Kids can get crazy, we don't want anyone getting hurt.
- Against homesickness. Many of these kids will be away from their parents for the first time, and that can be scary. Pray that their hearts would be so fully excited to be there and focused on God, that they wouldn't even consider being afraid to be away from home.
- For the staff and leaders to lead and guide the program effectively.
- For our guest speaker, that God would speak and move through her. That children would experience God through her in a new and powerful way.
- For the counselors and leaders who will be in the cabin with them. This can get tiring, so pray for peace, patience and strength. Also, that they would truly be filled with the Spirit, and that they would just shine God's grace and love to the kids. In addition, kids can ask some tough answers. Pray that God would be with the leaders, whispering answers and wisdom into their ears as they wrestle with the questions children are shooting at them.
- Pray for the kids who have never accepted Christ before, that they would feel a tug on their hearts and be obedient to listen. Also, that all the kids would feel impacted to some degree, and that as we come down the mountain they are stoked on God and ready to change the world for Jesus.
- That we all have a ton of FUUUUUUUN!
I can't wait to get back and share stories with everyone. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts. <3
