Wow...time is flying! I cannot believe we are just two weeks away from our next camp. I just wanted to give everyone a little update on how prep is going and ways you can pray...
We currently have 55 kids signed up for camp and will have a few more in the next few days. We have 9 leaders coming from the States and 8 coming from various townships around Johannesburg. I am so grateful for the team we have in place. I really believe God is going to do great things in and through them!
Promise will be leading us in large group bible studies throughout the week, and Brad will be leading us in worship. Please pray for these two as they prepare for the week.
Game and activity prep is coming together as well. It is always a joy to watch the kids as they learn how to do new things and build relationships with their team. Please pray for each of our 8 teams--that the leaders will be able to quickly build relationships with the kids, as well as the kids with one another.
A major prayer request is team unity. Our team during camp is made up of people from various cultures and backgrounds, which can sometimes make unity difficult. Please pray that people will step out of their comfort zones and get to know new people. Pray that we will be unified as we work together to minister to the children attending.
In these next two weeks so much prep work takes place--both here and in the States. My desire is that our focus will stay on Christ and what is in going to do in the week of camp. So often the details and lists can become so overwhelming that my focus shifts. Join me in praying for our kids, our leader, and that God would be the focus of the week.
Thank you all for your support--this couldn't happen without you. Please check out The Hidden Place on Facebook and follow us on twitter thehiddenplace_ for all kinds of updates during camp.
