Prayer News and Notes

Pray with us!

1. PRAY FOR THE GOERTZENS --- The greater camp family in Canada was saddened to hear that one of our camp directors lost 2 daughters in a car crash in southern Manitoba.  Duane and Sylvia Goertzen run the Roseau River Bible Camp and Duane has served on a National Board with me for the past 6 years.  All across Canada there are camps that are sharing about the love of God and the Salvation He offers - it is incredible what God does through Christian Camping.  It is painful when one of your colleagues is hurting so much.  Please pray for his family as they grieve the loss of Sophia and Acacia.  Here is a link to a news segment on the accident 

2. TELEIOS --- The third session started last week with a whole new group of high school students.  It is incredible to see these youth grow in their love for Jesus.  Pray for these students as they return home.  Our prayer is that their roots would continue to grow deep and others would join them in their journey of faith.

3. WISDOM --- Our sous chef has taken a job with Camp Evergreen starting in September.  We are excited for this opportunity for her to use her gifts and talents in more of a leadership role.  Pray that she would settle in well with her new team.  Pray also for SABC that we will find a qualified replacement to fill this huge role.
    
4. CAMP4U --- Camp4U continues and already we have had over 4000 views across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube!  Pray with us that children and families would come to know Christ in a deeper way through this online camp video series. 
    
5. FULL TIME STAFF --- Pray for our team as they transition next week into the fall season.  It can be a hard time for some as we say goodbye to our incredible summer staff.  Pray that our team would gel and settle into the fall schedule and ministry.
    
6. FALL RENTAL MINISTRY SCHEDULE --- There is still much apprehension about renting our facility from potential groups.  Pray that we would be able to operate again this fall and that our clientele would be able to use our facility without being afraid of the pandemic.  Pray that God would use this facility to reach people and share the gospel.

God is working and it is a gift to join Him in this work.  Thank you for standing with us as we have shifted and pivoted and sought to clearly follow His lead.  We thank you for your partnership in this way. It has been so amazing to see families grow in their faith and make memories together.  What a blessing to see HIM work!

You are welcome to pass this on to your friends and others you think would appreciate the word of SABC.  Those interested can sign up for this on our website at https://www.sabc.ca/contact-us/prayer-and-news/
