Get on the BUS!


There it goes!  The bus from Kinston, NC to Brevard, NC.  Hundreds of cars will pass this bus on the highway today and not realize the excitement behind this bus.  This bus is filled with High School Kid's who have been pursued and prayed for.  And this is the last obstacle to getting them to Young Life camp, you just gotta get them on this bus.

Mornings like this morning give me goose bumps and brings tears to my eyes because of the INCREDIBLE week everyone on this bus is going to have.  These kids are about to hear the complete Gospel story about Jesus and his GREAT love for us.  Would you join me in praying for Lenoir Greene Young Life this week while they are at Carolina Point?


Campers:   Cheley, Macy, Ryan, Carolina, TJ, Lizzie, Colleen, Claire, Carolina, Alia and Alexus, and Marthe 
Leaders: Mary Nell, John and Ashle, and Clint

Pray Everyday
       For fun, quality, shared experience with risk, adventure, and safety for leaders and kids they’re leading
       For the club speaker, program, assigned team, property staff, work crew, and summer staff serving us
       That high schoolers would be honest, vulnerable, and real in Cabin Time
Sunday
Pray for the ‘wow’ factor when pulling into camp and for cabin unity as we go through the obstacle course together that night.

Monday
Pray for more cabin unity during the volleyball tournament that morning and for open eyes to the clear picture of Jesus that is being sat before them.  Pray for the relationships between leaders and kids to be already strengthening, and for fun times in the cabin.

Tuesday
Pray for people to be engaging and that we would be moving towards camp unity doing the pool Olympics that morning. 

Wednesday
Today they hear the message of sin, but then participate in the ‘night that never ends’ which we hope is their first exposure to the alternative, full life with Christ.

Thursday
Pray for safety on the hike, and for conversations about the reality of sin that will be happening.  This night, kids hear about the cross and have 20 minutes alone to think/respond.

Friday
The program has all but ceased so that we can be in conversation all around camp about all they have heard this week.  They have another round of 20 minutes alone after hearing about the resurrection.

Saturday
Pray for all of us as we try to think through bringing all of this back home with us.  Pray that they would be leaders in their schools and our community.  Safe travels home.
