Things are a changing at Camp Lurecrest! With the ESBS
students graduated and the heat index pushing up the thermometer, it is time
for the Summer Camp side of Camp Lurecrest to take over. It has been a smooth
and easy transition as we flipped the camp from school usage to getting it
ready for 250 students to bombard our little mountain sanctuary.
Because I am on staff at the ESBS I am not really obligated
to stay around for the summer. However about a month ago I really started to
get a heart for the summer camp. I just saw a great opportunity to pour into
the counselors and support staff that will be leading the campers the 2 months
they are here. I have really gotten a heart to bring the school and summer camp
closer together and to just find opportunities where I can serve and love on
people.
I have also been given the opportunity to be the speaker
next week for a special camp that Lurecrest puts on. The camp is called New
Venture and it is for underprivledged students in Mecklenburg County, near
Charlotte. I am really looking forward to this opportunity because (1) I get to
tell people about how great our God is, (2) I get to continue to build
relationships with the summer camp staff and (3) because it will remind me of
my days working with Youth Impact in college.
So if you think about it, will you please pray for me. I
have prepared to talk 7 times in the next 4 days, starting Monday night. I hope to be answering some of the big
world view questions that students should understand about God, themselves and
their relationship with Him. Please pray that the students will be open and
will embrace the message of Jesus!
Thank you again for all of your support in my ministry! It
truly does mean a lot to me!
