Pray & Give - Day 3

Thanks to everybody for all your prayers for our team after yesterday's post.  Thank you to Emily and Jim and Karen for contributing towards to water heater yesterday! Still waiting to hear on a camp location. And still hoping to get another $100 towards the guitar we talked about on day 1, just in case you want to contribute to that. :) 


PRAY: KIDS COMING TO GRAD CAMP
We've been making phone calls to lots of kids inviting and reminding about camp next week. Today our prayer request is for all the kids that will come to camp exactly a week from today. A lot of things can contribute or distract from them coming, even if they're planning on it. Family dynamics play a lot into it, as a lot of them live with or near family members who strongly influence their decisions. A lot of different things can prevent them from coming. We're praying that Satan would have no opportunities to stop them from making their way to Sumy to get on the bus to camp. 

-Pray for all the kids that have said they'd come to be able to follow through with their decisions
-Pray that kids we maybe haven't even invited to come to mind or hear about it and be able to come
-Pray that no one and nothing would be able to keep them from coming next week
-Pray that God would be working in their hearts right now to prepare them for the things we'll be talking about at camp

GIVE: TRANSPORTATION $150
With all the praying for these kids to be able to come to camp, today we're asking for some financial help to actually get them there. We'll be renting a bus to take kids from Sumy to the camp and to get us all back home after. The cost will be somewhere right around $150 for both ways. Please consider giving towards our transportation costs by donating through PayPal with the link on the right side of the page. If you don't feel like giving is for you, add it to your prayer list and use the links below to share through Facebook, Twitter, email, etc. and get other people praying and giving!

  3. Hey Kim! We'd love to have Oksana come but the kids that have just graduated still have to be at the orphanage till they move on to trade school. Unless they've already gone 'home' to a family member for the summer.

    Karen, thanks so much for all your prayers and for always sharing our needs with others! We love you too!
