Red.

Camp. which I guess for me was always Kamp. But regardless I can remember what and impact it had on me and my walk with God. I pray that I will be able to show these boys what it means to walk with Christ and what an impact it can have on their lives.
Tonight is the first night of boys camp at LaVerne Griffin Youth Recreation Camp out here in beautiful Wasilla Alaska. The theme of the week is bible boot camp so everyone is wearing camo and yelling alot. It is pretty awesome. I have four boys in my cabin who are all from Grandview Baptist Chruch in Anchorage which is where we did our first VBS. My assistant counselor is Mike who is their youth minister and who i stayed with for the week i was at Grandview. Awesome how God works things out like that. We are Moses's Warriors in the Red Platoon Squad 2. I ask that you would be in prayer for these boys and ask that God would open their hearts to receive his word. The camp is beautiful and has really nice facilities.
There are two teams here that are working with us. One from Georgia and one from Tennessee. The Georgia people are from Tocoa. The camp managers here are also originally from Georgia. I swear it is like I never left the South.
In addition to being a cabin counselor I am teaching a class in the morning, leading a free time activity, leading another activity with compasses and maps, and helping with worship/tech. It is really awesome that I have been given some actual responsibility, but at the same time sleep seems to be a thing of the past. Speaking of sleep, the days continue to get longer and longer.
I really miss the other guys on our team that are working VBS at First Baptist Chruch Palmer. It is just me and Mason here at camp and Gentry and the girls are at the church. We have only known each other for 2 weeks and yet we are already a family. Praise God!!
I would also ask for prayer for our friend Chris (11 years old). We stayed with his family last week and really bonded with him. He comes from a not great situation and is at camp this week. I pray that it would really solidify his faith. Hope every one is well and enjoying the darkness.
Much love,
Kev
