Hello from the North!
We arrived safely at Camp Paradise on Wednesday, July 6th after a long drive up. Since we have been here we have installed the Volleyball court, as well as two tetherball courts! It’s taken a lot of digging and cementing but it’s so neat to see the courts finished. Looking at these is a reminder of how great our God is, and how He really does provide. We’ve even played a couple games and had many laughs. It has also been a busy couple days helping Jim with jobs around the house, as well as completing some much needed cleaning.
The second car of our team arrived safely yesterday evening. We were able to install the tetherballs with them and also take a much needed float down the river to ease the mosquito bites. This morning we were off to Hay River Pentecostal Church and back to finish up with the courts. Today is a much needed day to take some naps and refresh before kids being to come tomorrow.
One thing that we have all noticed is the need for rest, not just sleep but also energy to minister to the kids who God is bringing. Prayer for deep rests and much needed energy would be appreciated, as well as prayer against injuries and against any spiritual blocks on our hearts. Pray for our hearts to be open to hearing God’s voice, and our minds to be ready to answer any questions that the kids may have. Pray for the kids who are coming, that anything that would hinder their spiritual growth will be left outside the camp and for protection over them and us. Pray for Jim and his wife to feel God’s peace throughout the week, and for the Pastor who will be speaking to the kids throughout the week. One last prayer request is this: bugs & heat. The on/off heat seems to take a toll on our energy levels, and the bug bites are taking their toll as well. Prayer for team unity and for communication between members would be appreciated as well.
Thank you for your prayers and support, it is definitely comforting knowing that the church and you friends and family are behind us in our ministry up North. God is so good. We will keep the updates coming whenever we have a minute to write. We are only about 5 days in and have already seen God working in amazing ways.
Thank you for your continued support.
