Prayer and praise

  • The Matine family are getting settled back in Mozambique. Pray for God to provide resources for their family and the ministry needs. They are still waiting on approval of the non-profit status for their organization.

  •  have recently moved to Altoona. Pray for them to form supportive, godly friendships. Pray that they would find a good church home, and for other smooth transitions with her work and schooling, daycare for Dante, and family.-

  • Praise that over 40 kids are signed up to attend. Pray for each child’s heart to be soft toward the Holy Spirit’s leading and that they would hear the gospel clearly and respond. Pray that believing campers would leave camp wanting to know, love, and serve Jesus more. Pray for leaders Lucy Miller and Dana Jackson and for team unity among the many teen leaders. Summer missionaries from Child Evangelism Fellowship of Lancaster will do all the teaching, and 7 teens will lead the small groups.

  • Pray for Carrie Cortez and Dana Mousetis as they organize all the logistics of this year’s new format. Pray for the children and family groups who will participate to learn about God’s love for them in a fresh way and to strengthen connections with each other. Everyone is welcome to come out on Friday for dinner and the closing program!

  •  Pray for Steve as he has cataract surgeries on July 7 and 14.


  • Pray for safe travels and good connection with family, churches, and individual supporters in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maryland (July 1-19).
