I don’t do this often on my blog, but when I do, I try to make it count.  I want to ask you to pray for us at Crossroads for the next five weeks.

In a few short days, our staff will begin arriving and a week from Monday, several thousands students will descend upon our little community for a summer camp we like to call CROSSROADS.  This is our 14th year, we have seen thousands of students saved and surrender to ministry, they have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to missions, and we are about to again embark on this summer odyssey we simply call CAMP.

We need your prayers for the following things, and when you pray, you can be as specific as you like.

• For the attitude of Christ, the hearts of servants, and the energy to do everything with excellence in the name of Jesus
• For students to be converted to faith in Christ, to be challenged and equipped in their faith, and to go home bearing fruit that will last for the glory of God
• For safety en route to and from camp and while attending Crossroads, for staff and campers
• For our camp director, Matt Orth and our administrator, Jeremy Berger, who will work tirelessly and carry a great load of the leadership responsibilities
• For Carl Cartee and his band who will lead in worship
• For all our workshop teachers and the audio and video crews
• For the 60+ total staff and workers to be rested, stay healthy, and build lasting relationships as a summer staff
• For the power of the Holy Spirit to be evident, for the gospel to be proclaimed clearly, and for all that is said and done to point people to the reality of Jesus as Lord and God

Our camps being Monday, June 29 and finish on Thursday, July 23.  It will be long and hot and exhausting but we would not have it any other way.  Your prayers are not just nice thoughts you send our way…they are the means by which God gives us grace for the task assigned to us.  So please…pray for Crossroads Summer Camps for the next 5 weeks.
