MISSION KIDS / GA CAMP
2 sponsors and 14 1st-6th grade girls who are in our Mission Kids group will be going to GA Camp at Latham Springs encampment in the Waco area, this Friday, June 27, and will return home on Monday. These few days play an important role in the spiritual development of our kids. It is at camp that many children come to trust Jesus as Savior, or at least take significant steps toward this critical decision. Children who already know Jesus have a real opportunity to grow spiritually through the week of activities. And it is at camp that some children first hear the call from God to serve Him in ministry and missions. Let's participate in what God will do during these days of camp by praying faithfully now and throughout the weekend for all of the participants.
"...many who heard the message believed." -- Acts 4:4 (NIV)
"Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness." -- 1 Peter 2:2-3 (NLT)
"The seed that fell on the good ground is like the person who hears the teaching and understands it. That person grows and produces fruit, sometimes a hundred times more, sometimes sixty times more, and sometimes thirty times more." -- Matthew 13:23 (NCV)
Pray that . . .
Nothing will arise to interfere with a child being able to go to camp and participate fully throughout the week.
Each child's heart will be like good soil in which the Word of God sinks down and takes root, producing the fruit that God desires in each life, whether salvation, growth, or another commitment.
Each sponsor will reflect the love, grace, and kindness of Jesus to the children and will have the wisdom necessary for dealing with any situation that arises.
