Transitions...







Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great Fourth of July holiday! Here at camp we've been pretty busy over the last few days. We recently just changed from session 1 to session 2 here at TWL. The changeover was a lot of work as not only did we prepare for new campers, we also had to prepare for new work crew, summer staff, and assigned team.

I'm definitely going to miss the people that spent five camp weeks here for session one. It was especially hard to say goodbye to the summer staff I had the privilege of working with in the kitchen. We had a lot of fun together in the AM, and it was great getting to know each of them and the journeys God has in store for them.

As quickly as we said goodbye to the session one crew, we were sent to greet the new group for session two. It was difficult to transition so quickly, but it has been fun getting to know the new peeps over the last four days. I'm really excited about our new AM crew and the community we will be forming over the next four days.

One exciting note is that this week my home area Eastern Ottawa is here with our Young Life high school campers. It has been a ton of fun seeing familiar faces amongst the leaders here and I'm hoping to catch up with them over the next few days before they take off for home.

Thank you for your constant prayers and support from back home! Praise God for this tremendous opportunity to serve at a place where adolescents meet Jesus Christ and grow in their faith! Continue to be in prayer for students as they come weekly from places all around the Midwest and learn what it means to trust others, trust their leaders, and trust Jesus. Also, be in prayer for our new assigned team, summer staff, and work crew here this session as they begin their four week journey. Finally, continue to pray for our intern community as we have hit the halfway point here at TWL. Pray that we'll continue to keep our focus on Christ, grow stronger as a community, stay rested, and have fun!
