Monday, Week 2, Session 1

Hey guys!

Today was a great day at KCK+1stP, our NDG location, and was also the first day of camp at St. Peter's, TMR! I forgot to get that team onto the blog, but I will try and do that tonight.

We had 21 campers today at KCK+1stP, and we are expecting three more by the end of the week; praise God, who is answering our prayers for more campers! One of our new campers is (I think) from a Muslim background, so it's cool that he's here.

This reminds me; for those who didn't know, our theme this summer is "People of Every Nation and Tongue". Indeed, we do have campers (and staff) from all over; Canada, Peru, Mexico, Korea, Poland, Haiti, Barbados... We've got kids speaking Creole, Korean and Spanish to each other in addition to almost every camper being very French-English bilingual. Every week, our artist-in-residence is giving the kids a look at the culture and music of a specific geographical area. Last week was the Caribbean, this week is South America.

Today's small group lesson was about God's faithfulness to Abraham and Sarah, and how we can trust God (even when we can't see how he will do something). With that in mind, please pray for...

... continued good weather.
... even more campers!
... the staff at both locations: that we would have all the energy, focus, alertness, creativity and loving patience we need, that God would help us prepare and take care of ourselves as much as we need to, that there would be clear communication between us and between us and the campers.
... the campers: that all would come to know Jesus as their friend and their king this summer, that all would have an increased desire to worship and learn about God, that they would all be safe in every way.
... Jesus Time, the morning and afternoon worship time: that the campers would have focus and excitement about spending time with God, that they would understand what we are doing, that the staff would quickly learn how best to encourage them in these things.

Thanks guys!

EDIT: Also, we got a surprise visit from Emerson, who I just noticed is now a follower of the blog! It was really nice to see you! :)
