Fourteen Ireland: Day #14

Day #14: Camp Staff


Today, Day #14...  Our final day!  If you made it to day fourteen, way to go!  Thanks for praying with us daily.  Your commitment means so much!  Tomorrow's the big day--the FCA Golf team will be leaving for Ireland!  Would you join us today in praying for all camp staff?

Please pray for everyone's attitude.  Pray that staff would be all about the youth, ready and willing to serve them.  Pray that none of our efforts would be about ourselves, but rather Jesus Christ!  Pray that our presence amongst these youth would be marked by: honesty, sincerity, service and love.

I'll do my best to keep you updated on camp while in Ireland.  Also, I would encourage you to visit FCA Golf's site http://www.fcagolf.org/ for trip updates.  Regardless of how often I am able to update you about the week, know that you'll receive a full report upon my return!
 
Again, thank you for your prayers and support!

Fourteen Ireland: Day #13

Day #13: Coaching Groups

Today, Day #13 of our fourteen day journey, would you join us in praying for Coaching Groups?  Below are pictures of Karen's group and my group from last year:

    
  
  
Coaching Groups, or "Huddles" as FCA calls them in the US, are small groups consisting of a leader and several campers.  Each camper is assigned to a group with other campers of similar age and same gender.  The purpose of these groups are to encourage discussion and understanding of how the Gospel applies to each of our lives.  For more information about coaching groups, see FCA's Huddles Overview (scroll down once the page has loaded).
   
Each day following lunch, campers will hear a short message about the day's topic (topics were shared in yesterday's post).  These messages are designed to get the campers talking and thinking--providing an excellent transition into our Coaching Groups, where leaders discuss with campers how the message that was shared applies to each of our own lives.

Please pray for our coaching group times.  Pray that the truth of God's Word would touch the heart's of each camper's life.  Pray that campers would see the Bible as a book that truly is relevant to every aspect of life.
