1st Session Overnight Trip + Regular Prayer Requests

Dunno if everyone saw Karim's comment, but just in case:
Praise God for bringing us 32 campers Monday morning!

I got back this evening from the 1st session overnight camping trip at Cap St. Jacques. We had a total of 29 people; 20 campers and 8 staff from both camps, plus one fantastic parent volunteer.

I dramatically underestimated how much food we would need and I couldn't reach anyone in Montreal, but our amazing God provided for us! Many, many thanks to Brian and Luce for finding a super market and getting us everything we were missing late Monday night, and to Lori and Ruben for making such a delicious supper with so little.
I have learned my lesson, and, next time, will dramatically overestimate instead.

The location was great, and the weather was great. (Thanks, God!) We canoed, swam (briefly; it was cold), did a bit of archery, played in the woods, shot some hoops... A couple of tents stayed up late singing; including a lovely rendition of "Father, I Adore You" in rounds at midnight.

Thanks also to everyone who drove us there and/or back!

Please pray for:
- Ali, our administrator and leader of the oldest small group, who has just recovered from strep throat.
- all our staff: that God would refresh us physically, emotionally and spiritually and enable us to share his love in our every interaction with the campers.
- the campers: that God would reveal himself to each of them in a new way, that they would be filled with love for God and for each other, that they would have a blast every day.
- this week's small groups lessons, which are about the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection: that there would be more than enough time in the day to spend in small groups, that God would enable the small group leaders to teach about Jesus' sacrifice and victory, that the campers would understand and be excited about God's love and power.
- even MORE campers!

Thank you guys so much for your prayers!

Edit:
Ooh, also, we have a new volunteer, Tierno, a friend of one of the young leaders. He is fantastic with the kids and will be helping out this week; thank God!
