so why do I have one? well I am heading tomorrow to Milford lake for the next two months working at Extreme Kansas Camp. :) :) I thought a blog would be a good way to give you all some updates on what God is doing this summer through the hearts of the camp staff and campers.
I was praying and looking for something to do this summer when Shawn Ammons asked me to consider Extreme Kansas Camp. After praying about it and considering some other options for the summer and making sure I could get off from work-- I felt like camp was where God wanted me this summer.
Extreme Camp exist to raise up, sharpen, and launch servant leaders into the world for God's glory. I will be part of the Extreme Disciple Making Team. (I believe that there is seven of us) One of the main reasons I choose to work out at camp this summer was to learn how to be a disciple who makes disciples. I want God to stretch and challenge me physically and spiritually as I work/interact with the D-Team(Disciple Team) and the campers.
What will I be doing this summer? The D-Team will be doing devotions, leading worship, and running different activities like: paint-balling, biking, variety of sports, tubing ect. I will be lifeguarding and helping with whatever needs get done from patching tubes to sharing my testimony. For 9 weeks we will be living out at Milford lake and will have a JH, HS, Defender Sports, and Family camp weeks. We will also be serving with short-term missionaries from Chihuahua, Mexico for a couple of weeks.
This will be my first summer out at Extreme Camp, but I am WAY excited to be trained as a disciple who makes disciples. I can't wait to see what God will do/is doing through the hearts of those on staff and the hearts of the campers!
Please keep us all in prayer if we come to mind. Pray for open hearts. Pray for unity of the D-Team. Pray for physical health and that we all stay healthy. Pray for the leadership. Pray for good weather. Pray for flexible attitudes. Pray that our words and actions will point to our Savior. Pray for the Mexico team coming up. Pray that we will be filled up and overflow to the campers we come in contact with. Pray that we keep God the number one focus throughout the summer.
I'll be driving to camp tomorrow morning and all this week we will be setting up camp and I hear there is lots to be done!!! To God be the glory!!!!
Well I got laundry in the washer, clothes to be packed and a last minute trip to wal-mart to go do.
Enjoy everyday and take up your cross,
