Week two wrapped up beautifully with many kids making decisions for Christ! Praise the Lord!

We have just entered week 3.....TEEN WEEK!
I've heard many of our new staff express how nervous they are about teens coming....and it's understandable....they can be intimidating. But really, when it comes down to it, they are just kids at heart....just in bigger, more awkward bodies :)
One thing they do love is basketball.....it has been non-stop since registration started this afternoon at 1pm. They only time there were no balls bouncing in the a-frame was at dinner and chapel. They love it! As much as they love the game, my prayer is that they will learn to love the Word and their Savior just as much. It is a little more challenging to reach teens in this day and age...so much more going on in families, schools, etc.....so many more distractions, so it seems. But hopefully, when they come here, most of those distractions are lifted and they are able to peel away some of the "layers" in their life and see the Lord for who He truly is and what He can offer them.

Please be in prayer for these teens. Even though they are laughing, smiling and enjoying their camp experience so far, they are carrying burdens that are heavy and wearisome. Pray that we, as a unified staff, can help them find relief from it all....help this camp to be a 'safe' place for them.
I'm excited to see what God is going to do this week!
