Prayer Warrior #3 - Boys Camp I
It’s a blessing to surround the boys with such a wonderful group of guys. I’ve reflected this week about how important it is to change the world by raising up the next generation to love the Lord. If we wanted them to be carpenters, we’d tell them to become apprentices and surround themselves with people they could model after. We want the boys to grow up and become men who are faithful to God’s Word. So it really is a wonderful thing to be able to surround boys with examples that we want them to follow.

We’ve had a great week at Family Camp I. This week included a Salmon Bake on Wednesday and fireworks over the lake on Thursday. Tonight the campers wrap up their last night together.

Prayer Warrior #2 - Family Camp I
Pray for marriages to be healed. Pray that our speaker, David Cotrell. Pray for his endurance and clarity of mind. Pray for his ministry impact this week. Many kids and teens from Family Camp eventually come back to serve on Summer Staff. Maybe it’s because of the impact that the Staff make on them during VBS. Pray that our Summer Staff would have a great week serving these kiddos. Pray for the Salmon Bake on Wednesday. We’re expecting several visitors to camp. Pray for their travel safety. Pray for the weather to be spectacular during the dinner at 6:00pm. If you want to come, please sign up here. This week we are introducing the “On Your Mark” patch to the families. The hope is that kids would see mom and dad memorizing Scripture with them during the week. Pray that God’s Word would be sown in these families.

Praise Report - Girls Camp II
Tomorrow Girls Camp II comes to a close. Though the week has been challenging, we are grateful that God came through in so many circumstances to sustain, protect and provide. This week is especially challenging for the cabin leaders. They have spent many hours this week talking to campers on 1-1s. They have fought the fight well this week. We’re grateful for their efforts to maintain their focus on the ministry at hand. Please pray for safe travels for the campers as they head home.

Prayer Warrior #1 - Girls Camp II
Girls Camp II (formerly Sr. Girls) is for campers who are 10-12 years old. This demographic is at a severe disadvantage against the false naratives presented by the World. Social media platforms wuld like to convince them to question their genders and have them seek a personal image that God didn’t design for them. Schools are a hotbed for the war against the truth of God’s Word. At LBC we preach a gospel that is different than the pleasure-seeking messages of the World. Please pray for the spiritual battle at hand this week. Pray that our speaker, directors, and cabin leaders would be used to shine a light on whatever is true, right, pure, and lovely. Pray that these campers would fix their hearts and minds on the Author and Perfecter of their faith.

Prayer Warrior #9 - Family Camp II
Our Summer programs come to a close tomorrow. This week we had almost 110 campers for Family Camp II and another 140 who joined us for the Salmon Bake on Wednesday. We’ve enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces at LBC, including a few new ones. One conversation I had on Wednesday was with someone who had seen the camp from the public dock, but hadn’t experienced it personally. This was her first summer sending her kids to camp, so she signed up for the Salmon Bake. We hope we made a good impression. Pray that the influence of the Salmon Bake would bring people closer to the LORD.

Prayer Warrior #8 - Jr. High Camp
Jr. High is an important age for teens to figure out what they believe and why. In today’s culture teens are faced with all kinds of pressure to conform to the patterns of this world. That is why our speaker for this week, Lydio Banana, chose to speak through the book of Daniel. It’s a book where the characters face pressure to change and become like the Babylonians around them. The book gives us stories of how Daniel and his friends chose to fear God above all else. Pray that these campers would lean forward in chapel to hear about God’s Word and focus on what matters.

Prayer Warrior #7 - Boys Camp II
We’ve reached the midpoint of Boys Camp II. Today’s schedule includes man skills. The cabin leaders are teaching these boys how to change a tire, how to rescue someone in the water, how to fix a broken toilet, how to give someone a handshake. What have I enjoyed watching this week? I’ve enjoyed seeing the cabin leaders bring and utilize their unique interests. One of the cabin leaders loves to mountain bike, and he connects with the kids at the bike track. One enjoys music and he connects with them using instruments. Another enjoys drawing. Another disc golf. I’m grateful for the variety of interests God instills in His people.
