It is not ours to understand all that He does, but it is ours to
trust Him. To add to the challenge of having to change location of
Teen Camp, word came last night that Steve and Kari will not be able
to be the directors. We need to pray for their daughter Sharon who
has crashed up against a medical crisis that requires the attention
of the whole family.
The Lord has made it very clear that
He wants to be in charge of what takes place next
week. Kay and I will fill in for Steve and Kari, and will be asking
our Young Adults to step it up a notch, with their help I am
confident that it is going to be a good camp.
I have not forgotten your request
for a pastoral sign off for those who want to help as junior staff
at Kid's camp. I'll have a form for you to use in the email later
today. One of the daily theme's for Teen Camp is about mentors. On
the Sunday morning July 4 after the Teens have shared their
testimonies about the great things God has done in their lives at
Camp you will have the opportunity to have mentors take these teens
under wing and begin to disciple them.

Keep on praying. The Lord know's what He is doing.

In yesterdays note of encourage I wrote "I'm
passionate about never giving up on anyone, no matter how hard the
circumstances, how painful the infliction, how hopeless the situation,
or how little love there seems to be; never give up, never give up,
never give up, our God is able."
This afternoon I am passionate about never giving
up in any situation no matter what obstacles might come our way.
Camp Bethel is not available to
us next week even though we booked those dates before we left
camp last year. Anita is no longer the director and we need to pray for
the challenges the new leadership is already facing. Everything is a go
for Kid's Camp at Camp Bethel July 6 - 9.
Our God is able and He
is going to help us find a solution for Teen Camp. The new director did
find us an opening at another camp ground, but it is an hour and a half
south of Aberdeen at Long Beach. You can check it out at
opretreat.org
they are willing to honor the same cost per camper as Bethel. I am open
to suggestions, is it possible to go to one of the villages and use the
school, or the gym, or the community build, or or or or or or or or or
or or???????????????????
We are going to have Teen Camp, Lord
show us how to do it.
