Prayer for GP Camps

Today we lift up our United Methodist camps across Kansas & Nebraska that make up the Great Plains United Methodist Camps.  We lift up each site council and staff as they navigate this difficult time.  Guide and direct our actions so that our ministries can continue is new and powerful ways.  We pray that the local support near each site will come together to help see their camp make it through this challenging time.  Lord help us to find ways our sites can be of help during this time of crisis for so many. 

In your name we pray, Amen.

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 ...

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 ...

Prayer for Young Wonders Campers

Image
From Counselor Jillian: From counselor Kaden: Dear Lord, I want to lift up each of our Young Wonder campers as the summer approaches and we begin to think about our next year at Camp Horizon. I ask you to help these young students finish their school year by giving everything they have got in their classes. I ask that you stay within their minds and their hearts through every task whether big or small. I can't wait to be a part of their walk for You as they grow Spiritually this summer. Amen. From counselor Anika: From Counselor Cal: Lord, I pray that you work through the Young Wonders this summer. I ask that you offer camp as an escape from the discomforts of life. Use camp as a pressure-free space that drives your children to leave their comfort zone. I pray that counselors provide your unconditional love and meet them where they are. Let them form lifelong bonds with one another and strengthen their connection to you. Grace them with peace and safe...
