Prayers for Camp Hope – July 17-22, 2011

“For I know the plans I have for you; plans to give you hope and a future.”  Jeremiah 29:11

Pray that the power of the Holy Spirit will fill the camp for the week.  Bind Satan from approaching the camp.

Pray that campers and volunteers who do not know Jesus will accept Him as Lord and  Savior.

Pray that campers and volunteers will know that God protects them and has great plans for their lives.

Pray that campers and volunteers who need renewal of life in Christ will repent, ask, and receive.

Pray for safety for all traveling to and from camp and for all during activities during camp.

Pray for fun for the campers, that children will have the freedom to be children.

Pray that staff and volunteers will recognize when DFCS needs to be called into a home.

Pray that additional campers will come forth to fill the camp slots available.

Pray that the attendees of the upper camp, Leadership Training Academy, will sense a higher calling for their lives.

Pray for discernment in assigning counselor and camper matches and for discernment  for the staff and volunteers for the week.

Pray that each of the daily Christian themes will be engraved upon on the campers’ hearts.

Monday-Love

Tuesday-Forgiveness

Wednesday—Trust

Thursday—Joy

Friday–Forever

Pray that $7,000 in donations will be received by camp start date to meet our Challenge Grant objective of $50,000.

Thank you for your prayers!  Please feel free to pass along this information to friends, family, your Bible studies, small groups, church congregations and more.

Blessings!

The Camp Hope Staff
