THANK YOU, GOD
- For our Christian Camp Director Community which we have established and nurtured. The popular topic in the community’s online chat last week was ‘camp directors making arrangements with winter facilities to run Christmas camps.’
- Camp My Generation, Georgia. For the resident camp session with 35 teenagers. For 13 campers who accepted Jesus at camp.
- Camp Following Jesus Christ, Zaporozhsky region, Ukraine. For the resident camp attended by 310 young adults and 47 staff from many regions of Ukraine. 30 campers were non-Christians. For a blessed time, full of seminars, worship, great speakers and a strong prayer program.
ACTIVITIES
- September 13-15 our staff is participating in the annual in-person conference run by the association of secular camps in Ukraine. Our main reason for attending is meeting with the government officials who influence the legislation for the camping industry in Ukraine.
- Camp My Generation. The church the camp belongs to has recently acquired a campsite and started the construction of a two-story building to run camp programs. Camp staff holds weekly meetings to pray and to work on their discipleship program.
- Camp Following Jesus Christ. The team is preparing for a big prayer and worship follow-up meeting in a local church in Kiev. Because campers and camp leaders are from churches located all over Ukraine, this will be the launch meeting for their fall and winter clubs and discipleship work in their local churches.
INTERCESSION
- For our staff this week as we are making phone calls to the select group of 60 camp leaders inviting them to attend our strategic in-person forum, November 3 – 6.
- For Camp My generation. For new staff and volunteers to join in; to complete construction of the building; for no covid interference in their ministry.
- Pray for the Camp Following Jesus Christ team. The mission of the camp is to unite young people, give them the opportunity to rest, and create conditions for spiritual growth. Intercede for every person who attended this camp. Ask God to do his awesome deeds through this group of young adults.
