This coming week a group of students are going to be in for an amazing experience. They are going to coming closer to God than they probably have ever come, in their life, before. You may be asking to yourself, "How can he make such a bold statement like that?" Well for a large majority of these students it will be their first church camp which means there will be a lot of first. Possibly their first week without their parents, their first week in a new place, their first time without their cell phones, but most importantly their first week where they are going to be totally focused on the one true God. There is nothing special about camp but it allows students to throw all their worldly distractions behind such as Facebook, Cell phones/texting, TV, internet access, etc. They will at least have 5 different Bible studies everyday. With all this time away from distractions and all their time focused on knowing God, students will come away from this camp on fire for Christ. Although this tends to be what occurs at church camp, we can't expect this to happen without the work of the Holy Spirit. I ask that you pray for the following students and leaders, in that God will work great and wonderful things through these students attending camp and for the unbelieving students I ask that God will give them a new heart that is solely surrendered to Christ.
Students: Adam Watkins, Dan Bolster, Luke Ross, Eric Grant, Andrew Yoakem, Austin Shields, Coty Hall, Sydney Pemberton, Sarah Pemberton, Madeline Allen, Mackenzie Marcrum, Rachel Tarrence, Reagan Martin, Rebekah Jarboe, Elizabeth Jarboe, Ale Minnicks, and Keely King.
Leaders: Brent Fields, Rebecca Fields, Sarah Gibbs, Ben Jarboe, and Justin Mitchell
Please keep us all in your Prayers over this next week!!!
Hope you guys have a wonderful week! Love ya
