As we were finishing up our crafts for the day, one of the boys on my team shared with me that his father was in prison. His mother has been raising him since birth. Another boy chimed in about his father being in prison for 10 years. With such negative experiences, it is sometimes difficult for these kids to understand the love of God our Father. We hope to be an extension of God’s love to them and to personally touch their lives this week.

Please continue to pray for kids on my team who have lived a life of constant fighting and have brought aggressiveness into the camp. Today, one of my kids was in tears form being made fun of, and later in a soccer game a fist fight nearly broke out. I continue to ask you all for wisdom to be a role model and mentor for these kids this week. Pray for them to know encounter Jesus through us and to come to know Him through the teaching each day.
