53 Days Left

Last Friday we had a Peoria Parents' Night Out. It was our last one of the season, but it was a great one. The weather was so nice that we got to go outside and play capture the flag. We also had a Bible lesson and went bowling. It was a great night and a great opportunity to reconnect with campers and staff. Thanks for your prayers.

God has also blessed us with more staff applications. A few weeks ago things were not looking the best but now we seem to be doing well. We have even had a few more guys apply. We could still use more people but we know God will provide our needs. Thanks for your continued prayers in this area.

Looking Ahead . . .
1. Next Friday we have our last Eureka Parents' Night Out. It should be another great night. Would you PAUSE and PRAY for the safety of the campers and staff. Would you also PAUSE and PRAY for good opportunities to reconnect.

2. We have another staff interview session on April 20th. Would you PAUSE and PRAY that God will give us wisdom as we go through this process.

3. The summer is 53 days away. Would you PAUSE and PRAY for all the preparation that goes into a summer. Things like field trip planning, daily schedules, arranging buses to come as needed, director training, staff training, printing off and putting together all of our material, and many other things.

Thanks for your prayers.

Green Means Go

Our theme this summer is Green Means Go. We are spinning this off of the green page in the wordless book. The purpose of the theme will be to encourage campers to grow in their faith and apart of that growing is going into the world and sharing the gospel. Our theme verse is coming from Matt. 28:19-20. It will be a great summer and I pray that God will really work on these campers to share about Him.

Since I was last on here we have had a lot that has happened. Two weekends ago we had a Parents Night Out in Eureka. It was a great night. We had a lot of staff come and minister to campers. The evening was filled with games like "Super Assault," snacks, and a Bible lesson. Thanks for all of you who prayed for this event. We also had another group interview this past weekend. There were 11 applicants that came and it was great to meet all of them.

Looking Ahead . . .
1. We have a Peoria Parents Night Out this Friday. It should be a lot of fun as this is our last Peoria one of the season.

2. Following that there will be a Eureka Parents Night Out a few weeks later. This will be the last Eureka one of the season.

3. The summer is only 62 days away. There is much to do and less time to do it in. Your prayers for the preparation of the summer are greatly sought after.
