We arrived at Victory October 7th, we were blessed with a warm welcome from the awesome staff who helped us unpack our entire trailer and vehicle, it was a huge blessing! Even in the short time we've been around we have seen such a servant-hearted group of individuals here at camp. Our prayer is that we'll have the same attitude as we are a part of what God is doing in and through this ministry. It was a harder adjustment than we had anticipated, especially for me but through it all we know this is what God has called us to. Derek has been able to jump right in, he is divided between the guest service department and the program department and is really enjoying both. This weekend will be his first weekend to host a group who is coming up for a retreat. He will be taking care of them while they use our facilities, making sure they have everything they need for their time here. Please pray that the group has a fun, refreshing, and spiritually encouraging time, and for Derek as he serves them. We are learning a lot already but know there will be much more to learn. Please pray that we will be willing to allow God to shape us into who He wants us to be. We can't even begin to express how privileged we feel to be here, thank you to each one who is giving financially and prayerfully we couldn't asked for a better team. Please come visit! We would love for you to be able to come up and see first hand what God is doing through this Christian camping ministry that you are a part of!
Prayer Requests
