Prayers for our Director

Image
Today seems like the perfect day to lift up our Director Joel Wilke in prayer. Today is his birthday. So as you pray for him, please send him some virtual birthday love as well! Lord, today we lift up Joel. We lift him up as a leader, a father, a husband, and as your child. These past 11 years that he has been at Camp we have seen miraculous things happen. He has listened to you and sought your guidance through all these years. He is isn't afraid to dream with you! Today we pray that he continues to seek you and feels your peace during these uncertain times. He has big decisions to make this week and we pray for his heart as he decides what to do with this summer. We know he is thinking about each and every camper, money, staff members, and his own family. This is a large load to carry and he carries it gracefully with you. Thank you Lord, for your servant Joel and his dedication to you and this camp, and the ministry we do here. Bless him today on his birthday, may he feel your ...

Worship Wednesday: Trading My Sorrows

Image
Trading My Sorrows has been around at camp as long as we can remember. Our current staff dates back to 2007 in staff experience and we know it has been sung since then.

I'm trading my shame (turn head away) At camp we focus a lot on welcoming everyone, and making sure that no matter where you come from or what life experiences you have God wants you here and as part of His family. I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord (Hands lifted up to God) We encourage everyone to dance and sing during worship even if they aren't feeling it at the moment. This helps teach kids that we can lay down our feelings an...

Worship Wednesday: Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace)

Image
Worship at camp is a unique experience. For the counselors and staff, we get to take a break from some of the chaos, some of us leading worship, others praising God with our kiddos. For some of the campers, this may feel similar to their church: a band leading up front, others singing around them, and this sense of unity through music and worship. For other campers, however, this may feel foreign and even uncomfortable at times. These kids may not have ever been exposed to this kind of music, oneness with a community of Christians, or even this kind of Love that we receive from our beautiful Lord. For them, and for anyone else in that sanctuary struggling with brokenness, emptiness, or feeling unseen, we sing a specific song:  Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace)  by Hillsong Worship.  All these pieces, b roken and scattered. In mercy gathered, m ended and whole Empty-handed b ut not forsaken, I've been set free. ---  These beginning ...
