Dear Prayer Partners,
Winter Camp #3 was so much fun! We had
a blast. Most of the snow was melted and it was 65 degrees in the afternoon but
that did not matter to the campers. They were having so much fun exploring the
new camp.
One of the campers named Rickie was so
much fun. Rickie is the type of kid that always has a smile on his face. He is
vibrant and intelligent, good looking, the type of kid all the other kids want
to be around. He played hard all weekend and participated in the Bible Studies.
I thought he knew Jesus for sure. But he did not. Not until Sunday morning that
is. As we went outside to play volleyball for game time Sunday morning he and
two other campers stayed seated with their counselors. I was wondering why they
were not coming. I was just about to call to them when they bowed their heads
and prayed. Wow, it amazes me every time. Thanks for praying for him.
Susie had been to camp last summer and
was very nervous to come back for winter. I promised her that she would have
fun when her foster mom dropped her off on Friday evening. She was so unsure of
herself, timid and shy for the first few hours Saturday morning. By 10:00 am on
Saturday she was out of her shell and soaking in everything she was learning in
her Bible studies. We could see her light up as she realized how much God loves
her. Pray she meets Jesus soon. I have no doubt that if she comes back to camp
this summer she will give her heart to Jesus – Pray!
Please pray for counselors for winter
camp. We seem to be very short on volunteers this season. It is always a
challenge and we need to continually recruit, however our recruiting this year
has been a little light due to how busy we have been with the new camp. We need
to share at some churches to recruit more counselors. If you think we may be able
to share at your church or small group please let me know.
In His service,
Matt & Tarrah Pritchett
Camp Directors
