Dear Prayer Partners,

Walking as a group between activities provides perfect mentoring opportunities. Camper Nathaniel and his counselor, Ryan, were strolling to the tie-dye station when their path was intersected by some girls on their way to the pool.

Eleven-year-old Nate felt deprived. He was so looking forward to swimming, and here was a privileged group getting to do just that. “No fair, Sophia!” he shouted in mild outrage.

Counselor Ryan gently corrected, “No, we let ladies go first.” “Ladies go first?” asked Nate. He’d not heard of such a thing. Ryan went on to explain, “Yes, because we’re gentlemen. Gentlemen let ladies go first.” “Yeh, ‘cause that’s polite!” Nate added. Ryan repeated, “That’s it! We’re gentlemen.”

Nate beamed. He liked the new label. “Yeh, we’re gentlemen!”

It's stories like this that make me smile and remember why we love our counselors and the difference they can make in one week at Royal Family Kids Camp! If you want to come volunteer for our 2nd and 3rd sessions of camp, click here.


Thank you for your prayers!

Darren


PRAYER REQUESTS:

  • Praying for one of our campers who left to go home today. It just wasn't his week is the best way to say it. Pray for "J" and his family.
  • Praying for Wednesday and our big Birthday Party - pray for all the volunteers who come out to help us put on the event.
  • Praying for our counselors ... it's mid-week and the tiredness is setting in. Pray for strength and for them to continue making a difference.
