Support Systems
A couple of weeks ago, we spent time with our high school campers on the Summit retreat. Darren and Melinda shared their hearts that weekend about how important support systems are and how God fostered a passion to provide that for all the campers that drive through the Camp Akiva gate. This just reminded us of how important having a stable and loving support system is; so, please join us praying for the Lord to provide that for our campers.
Lord,
So many of us are immensely blessed by the support we receive from the friends and family around us. However, we know that is not the case for our campers.
We now pray to you, Lord, and ask you boldly to provide a loving, safe, and faithful support system for each of the campers we get to serve through OFC. They need to see Your love shining through the people around them, and they need a solid community to lean on in hard times and celebrate with while they are thriving!
Lord, if that support needs to come from us specifically, give us the clarity to know that and to reach out a hand.
Amen.
