Dear prayer family,
Greetings
and thank you for your prayers! This past week I watched as God took a diverse
group of people and knit them together into a team. I have been on staff a few
years now, as have many of the staff. However, this year more than any other I
was impressed by the love for the Lord and kids in the foster system that each
of these staff members have.
Several
times during this training week the staff made it a point to get together for
prayer and devotions in addition to those scheduled in the program. In past
summers, the staff normally meets at 6:45 for devotions together. However, we
all decided that we should get together earlier on the weeks when camps occur
to pray specifically for the day. Just as God has impressed the extreme
importance of prayer on our lives, I am thankful that He has done the same in
your lives. I can only attribute the abundant spiritual atmosphere to the
prayers being offered up to God by His saints. Before Jesus started his
ministry on earth He made it a point to be alone and prepare himself for the
ministry that He was going to do. In a similar way, I am thankful for the week
that we had prior to camp where we could prepare ourselves physically and
spiritually to serve these children.
Having
the knowledge that we are being covered in prayer, it is with much anticipation
that I look forward to this summer, and I am confident that God will work
mightily both in the hearts of those serving and those being served. We covet
your prayers.
In
Him,
Brian and the Camp Alandale Staff
