This week's newsletter from Steve

Youth Camp has finally arrived! We arrived at Pineywoods Baptist Camp on Monday, and have been hard at it ever since! Bible Studies, swimming, worship, canoeing, fishing, volleyball, and so much more… We are keeping them busy, for sure!

For the past two years, I have been privileged to lead the “Missions Power Group” for this session of camp at Pineywoods. The “Power Groups” are a specific time each day where our students meet with the other students their age for Bible Study. The Missions group meets during that time, and is completely optional. We teach them the same material that the other groups teach, but we put a bit of a missions “slant” on it. On Thursday, we take the entire Missions group out to do a service project in the community. These kids and adults work hard, and do so with a willing spirit! It is such a blessing to be among these young people. Many of those in this group are interested in missions, and some even feel called to missions work as a vocation. Please be in prayer for them this week!

Thank you for praying for our group from Hillcrest this week. Please pray that God will draw us close to Himself, and in turn, closer to one another. We are also praying for the salvation of any of those coming with us that may not have a relationship with Christ! May their lives be truly changed this week! Thank you for your prayers this week—we can feel them!
