A Letter to the 2015 Summer Staff Girls!!

Just seven weeks until training week starts! As I look forward to the summer, I become more excited every day. You are part of a fantastic staff of ladies who have chosen to give this summer to serve the Lord and reach out to lost souls. 

Just think, somewhere there is a young girl, a young boy, a group of teens, so many in whose lives God has been working. Perhaps the biggest hurts will come to them just before they arrive at camp and you will be God’s mouthpiece to speak His words of comfort to them. Don’t be afraid!

I was just thinking on these verses in Isaiah from my Bible reading.
Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings...I have put My words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of Mine hand. ~Isa 52:7,16
The gospel will reach into their hearts and convict them of sin, freeing them from guilt and despair. It will also soothe their emptiness and fill them with hope! He is waiting to do for them what He has done for you and me.
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. ~Psa 103:1-5
One thing after another God is going to do this summer, and YOU get to be a part of it!  

Hooray!
