Camp Update
What an awesome summer we have had. This was our first year of directing camp, and it has been a time of learning and of joy. We are so grateful for the youth that were able to come to camp and for all the new youth we had come. We thank all of the people who are supporting us through prayer and financial support. We could not have done it without your help. God has truly blessed us by having you on our team.
This year at camp the campers studied 1 John in their morning devotion time and 1 Peter in their evening devotion time. They were challenged to be an Authentic Christian, and looked at how they could have a living hope. It was amazing to see how God worked in each camp. Their day was filled with the Word of God, and we had lots of activates for them to do as well. We had archery, tetherball, swimming, basketball, foosball, hiking, bonfire, horseshoes and carpet pool.
We had 34 campers at camp this year. We had 3 for our primary camp, 15 at Junior camp, and 12 for Teen camp, 4 for fishing camp. We had several youth that could not stay the whole day that would stop in and visit camp.
We had four girls at our back to school fishing camp located at Box Butte Reservoir. Three of the girls had never done any fishing before. It was a great time to learn and actually catch some fish.
Upcoming
On the third Saturday of every month we will be starting BASIC Saturday. This is a time for the youth to come to camp for Bible study, fellowship, encouragement, prayer, and work projects. We will be working around camp and the surrounding communities.
We are moving to Rushville, where God has provided a house that will better suite our ministry. Sarah was able to get a job at the school. I will be working on deputation and ministry stuff. We will be starting a Bible study in our home for those in the area.
We are in the process of trying to re-open Curley Sunday School. Please pray along with us as we proceed and that God would prepare hearts to meet Him.
Camp Needs
1. After our health inspection of the dorms we were told that we had to fix up the dorms before our next camping season. We are looking at insulating and sheet rocking the dorms, so that we can meet the requirements.
Prayer Requests
1. Pray that we would be able to share about our ministry.
2. Pray for the staff that will be needed for camp.
3. Pray for the youth that they would continue to grow in Christ.
4. Pray with us as we continue deputation that we would have the strength needed and wisdom.
