We had a very good week of camp. I'm teaching archery again and I've begun to realize this week how much you can impact a kid by teaching him how to shoot. We had a lot of very insecure boys this week. Two of them were in my devo group: Jordan and Kaleb. By the time they left you could see how much of an impact one week of encouragement can to to a child's self-worth. There was also a young man named Reed this week. I was able to work with him in archery and when he got to class the first two days he couldn't hit the target at all. But with much patience, encouragement, and someone who would just believe in him, Thursday morning he hit the target 27 out of 30 times... in a row. It was an awesome boost of self-confidence for him.
Keep praying for the staff we have come through our first week of camp very well. Also we have another staffer who arrived yesterday, Josh, pray he learns the ropes fast and also for Allie, she won't be here for another two weeks. Keep praying for Mr. Albert and Ms. Dianne, they are in Albuquerque still. They'll be there for another week and a half to try to get Mr. Albert's strenght back up.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers! Love you all!
Hey, I would LOVE to hear all the names of the campers like you did last year so I can pray for them!
