Pray for the babies

When we began planning this year, some of the babies that will be at camp this summer hadn't even been conceived. Yet God knew everything about each one who will be at camp this summer, His hand working mightily in lives of each baby and each young mother. Amazing!

This week, pray for the babies who will be coming to camp. One of the most amazing parts of ministry with teen moms is the way the ministry influences three generations; the teen, her child, and any adult in her life. We pray hard for the babies at camp. We sing over them. We play worship music for them. We read Bible stories to them. We try to love them like Jesus, knowing that His love for each and every one far exceeds anything we could fathom. We tell them about Jesus.

One year, we had a 5-year-old at camp. The cut-off age is 3, but through a series of special circumstances, this little one ended up at camp with us. I had the opportunity to talk to her time and again about Jesus, and near the end of the week, this little girl prayed to accept Jesus into her heart. She went around for entire next (and last) day of camp telling everyone in proximity, with a huge smile on her face, "I have Jesus in my heart!"

So, again I ask; pray for the babies. Pray for their health and safety. Pray they would raised in the love of Christ. Pray they would grow to know and accept His love for them.

In Christ,
