In less than two months, camp will be OVER. I can't believe it! Girls will have given their lives to Christ and lives will be changed. Be praying for:

1. ...the Lord to prepare the hearts of all those coming to camp; girls, leaders, volunteers.

2. ...provision of all we need; we're a little low on sign-ups for volunteers and pretty low on donations of items.

3. ...leaders to remain focused and stress-free as they plan their trips for their areas. I can tell you as a Young Life leader and staff wife that the couple of weeks before camp are ALWAYS wrought with stressful and unexpected situations as you gather kids, stuff, details, health forms, etc. To give an example, our Young Life trip leaves on Sunday, and as of Thursday last week, due to a series of unfortunate events, we had NO transportation! Yet the Lord provided abundantly and now not only we do have a lovely charter bus, we have it for a significantly lower price than our original bus. Moral of the story: Satan WILL attack before something so good, but the Lord will conquer! So, pray for the trip leaders pulling everything together to get teenagers and babies to camp. Pray a LOT.

4. ...the assignment team and committee team working diligently to plan all of the details of a great week.

5. ...work crew and summer staff kids preparing to serve at Lake Champion during the month of August. We certainly keep them BUSY and on their toes during YoungLives week! Pray for their hearts to be prepared to serve and love well.

Have a wonderful week!

It's already June!

Can you believe summer is already here? It feels like we were just waiting on God to provide for all of our needs for last year's camp, and He provided in abundance. Yet here we are, less than two months from another amazing week of teen moms and babies taking over Lake Champion. Here's what you can be praying over:

For more childcare workers to sign up
For YoungLives clubs inviting teen moms that the girls would want to come and that the area would find the resources necessary
For all the travel arrangements that need to be made
For supplies to be donated
For the assignment team to be filled with the Holy Spirit as they plan and prepare
For the camp property team as they welcome the first kids of summer

Now to Him who is able to do abundantly more than anything we could ask or imagine!
