Dear Friends,

I just want to express my excitement for all of you and your summer plans as well as my excitement for this blog.  The summer looks different for each of us.  Some of us will be very busy.  Others will have more time to relax.  One thing, however, remains the same.  We will all be met with trials.  I look forward to hearing about how God will use those trials to make you more like Christ.  

I pray that each of you find true community this summer.  I pray that each of you look solely to Jesus for your contentment.  I pray that each of you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His kingdom and glory.  

Anna: I pray that this summer would be a time of growth for you and that God would prepare you for the coming year.  

Michael: I pray that you will use every opportunity to minister to your LIT's and that your example of Christ to them be without blemish.  

Thomas: I pray that God uses your time in Greece to stretch you and grow you more into a man of God.  

Sally: I pray that your time in Ukraine will be fruitful and that your time with your family be refreshing. 

Julie:  I pray that God would use you in the lives of your coworkers and campers to challenge and encourage them.  

Lindsey: I pray that you would not treat camp as just a job, but realize the eternal impact you have on your campers.  

Katie:  I pray that you would really pour your life into the youth at your church and that this summer would allow you to spend extra time in the Word.
