Saranac in 6 days!

JAX Young Life will be taking about 90 kids to camp in upstate New York this Saturday. We needs lots of prayers for:

• a safe journey for all
• that more people in our area will find a way to continue contributing to the campership fund (many of the kids are not able to cover the cost in full this year)
• that each of these high schoolers will find spiritual nourishment on this trip

Janell Marino, Elizabeth Brooke, Helen and Dave Balz and I (Edith Katz) will be going up for the week to support and care for the leaders that are guiding these kids.

How fortunate are we to have this opportunity to see God's work in action.

Prayer by Jim Rayburn, Young Life Founder

Dear Lord,
Give us the teenagers that we may lead them to thee. Our hearts ache for the millions of young people who remain untouched by the Gospel and for the tragically large population of those who have dropped by the wayside and find themselves without spiritual guidance.

Help us to give them a chance, oh Father, a chance to become aware of thy Son's beauty and healing power in the might of the Holy Spirit. Oh, Lord Jesus, give us the teenagers, each one at least long enough for a meaningful confrontation with thee.

We are at best unprofitable servants, but thy grace is sufficient. Oh, thou Holy Spirit, give us the teenagers. For we love them and know them to be awfully lonely.

Dear Lord, give us the teenagers.

Amen.
