Two Weeks Behind Us & 40 New Believers

Over the first two weeks of camp, we have been blessed to serve 95 campers here at The Cove. With a current capacity of only 50 per week, we praise God for challenging us with near capacity crowds. More importantly, there have been 40 first time commitments to Jesus Christ! Praise God for the opportunity to share the gospel with young people that we will be trusting our future to.

As we are in the midst of the holiday week, we are happy to be serving families from Community Church of West Bend, Wisconsin. Pray that staff will use the time wisely by ministering to these families, as well as taking some extra “down time” in the middle of our youth camp ministries. In speaking with many of them, they appreciate the slower pace of this week, but are greatly anticipating the return of the children.

Next week begins the “middle of the summer run.” Three weeks full of opportunities to share the love of Jesus Christ with children ages 7 – 12. We know your prayers are with us, as they carry us through long days. Please continue to pray for the staff and campers, so that we all may be ready for the spiritual moments that God gives us each day.
