Please be in prayer for: team unity; God to mold each team member’s heart; flexibility; safety: travels, on work projects, while playing with the kids; No illness (stomach bugs, colds, etc.); God to use us to show His love to the staff and children; each person to receive what God wants them to learn.

PRAY FOR ELEMENTARY CAMP

Please lift up our outgoing third through fifth graders and volunteers who are heading to The Ark in Converse today for five days at Elementary Camp. Five local churches are coming together with approximately 187 campers and 60 faculty/volunteers. This year’s theme is “Defined” and the key verse is 1 Peter 2:9 – But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” NKJV. Pray for the Spirit to move, for our campers to meet Christ in a new way, and for lives to be changed.
