Week of Champions

Just wanted to give you a brief rundown of this past week. Outdoor Outreach was incredible. It is a camp that serves underprivileged students from our area. We had several of our youth group students helping out throughout the week and they did a great job! I was thoroughly impressed with how they jumped right into the mix and loved those kids so much! The whole week went well. The theme was Week of Champions and one of the middle school girls, Julianna, defined a champion like this, "someone willing to do the hard work to get closer to God." In my opinion that is a pretty good definition of a champion. That is what we are hoping those students will become. So, pray that God would continue to train them up to be champions for Him.

Camp Week

So, tonight is the eve of our first day of Outdoor Outreach. Outdoor Outreach is a camp for underprivileged students in the state-line area. Some of our Central students will be helping out for the first time and it should prove to be very exciting. I wanted to write so that if you are a reader and are not already actively helping out at the camp then I would love to request that you pray for us. This is a busy and taxing week. Probably, only a little like any week of ordinary ministry for Jesus and his gang, but we are not used to His pace. He walks pretty fast and He has compassion on so many! At the end of the day we are spent and our Lord goes off to pray. Jesus is so amazing. I want to be like Him.

But, the fact remains, we need prayer. If you could pray that we would have an atmosphere of love and compassion on these students, that we would have the physical strength to be human jungle gyms for a week, that we would display and preach the Good News, and that lives would be changed for His Glory.

Radio contact might be sparse this week. Keep checking back and I will try to keep you informed.
