Praying for camp
It’s nearly time for Moyallon Camp again. I am getting quite excited for camp this year. My anticipation of what God will do there is based on my experience of God moving among people at camp in amazing ways ever since I first went to Moyallon Camp. Quakers aren’t supposed to see some places as holier than others but Moyallon really seems to be a place where God’s presence can be felt more easily and in a very real way. I look forward to seeing the campers make these Divine connections whether it be for the first time or the hundredth time.
One of the things that is so important about camp is to pray for it. I have spent some time in vocal prayer for camp over the last couple of weeks and I believe in what I have been praying for. That people would feel touched by the transforming power of Christ, that lives would be changed because of God’s love for each one of us. I’ve been praying particularly for the leaders at camp because they can play a major part in pointing campers towards Jesus by their example.
I have experienced many answers to prayer over the last month or so, in relation to my job, in relation to our wedding plans, in relation to people I have been praying for. So, prayer really works and I look forward to the prayer meeting each morning at camp that sets you up for a day centred on God.
“Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart” (Col 4:2)
