Week 5 – Fun & Answered Prayer – Mon & Tues

The second week of Junior Camp is in full swing here at Camp CUMCITO! Our 7 to 9 year olds arrived Monday afternoon and enjoyed an evening of swimming and fun on the playground before ending the night with a spectacular chapel time! Two of the girls' cabins also had a special treat -- the opportunity to pelt their counselors with cereal! The contest was to see which cabin could stick more breakfast food in the shaving cream on their leader's face. How fun is that?!!

We have already seen God's incredible blessing this week. A counselor’s toddler son at home has a lung condition that requires equipment to help him when he can't breathe.  A call from home sent word that his son was not breathing well, and that the equipment was not helping. The counselor was preparing to leave camp and be with his son, so the campers in that cabin had the opportunity to pray before he packed his things to go. At least five of the eight campers prayed out loud for father and son. Within about 10 minutes, a call came in from his wife to say that the equipment company had suggested an easy fix and their son was breathing normally again! The counselor was able to stay at camp and he was able to share with the campers that God had answered their prayers.

We trust that God has and will continue to use this experience of urgent prayer and answered prayer to impact the campers throughout the week.  Hopefully, this is something they won’t soon forget!

Happy birthday to volunteer Paul Gerard!
God bless him for serving with us on his special day!
