We ask prayer for:

• We are a mixed bunch; we have helpers with different backgrounds and experience– pray that we will all complement each other in our various roles. Pray for unity & balance in the team.
• We have a number of people with health issues, ranging from two cooks with bad knees which makes standing and walking awkward to those who will struggle with hay fever and Asma! Please pray that God will sustain and heal and keep us all healthy during the week.
• For Gordon as he prepares talks from Luke’s gospel for this year’s Camp. Pray that he will pitch it at the right level so that Camper & Leader get something out of the daily sessions.
• For a good time spiritually – that the week will be marked with conversions and spiritual growth.
• Health & safety – accidents do happen – pray with us that any accident/health issue will be insignificant and managed well!
