This is How We Fight

This past couple of months have felt like we were preparing for war. A spiritual war, but a war nonetheless. We have been working hard to prevent this war, and preparing just in case. As a camp we have hunkered down in all the necessary ways to protect ourselves and these hallowed grounds to be used for the ministry we were created for. We have spent hours in prayer and fasting discerning what and where and when we are to move forward. There have been many divine moments of answers, nudges, gifts, and incredible weather. The enemy is still working just as hard to win this war. We have had many patrons on our trails and it has been good to see people out enjoying the weather. Each time someone doesn't follow the rules it feels like a blow, because we are trying to remain open to serve people now but ultimately our campers this summer. It felt like the sun stood still on Thursday night as we listened to the Governor's address for Kansas. Her answer was a mixture of good news ...

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 ...

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 ...
