Join us for 21 Days of Prayer! June 21st - July 11th
As camp approaches, I want to invite you into something powerful- something that will infuse all the planning and preparation with the presence of God: 21 days of focused prayer. When we pray, we expect God to not just hear us, but also to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
