Dear Prayer Partners,

The "Eyes" have it ...

Well, that's not exactly the phrase but it's fitting for the final day of camp.

Today, we wrapped up our 1st session of Royal Family Kids Camp for 2024. It's a special day for so many reasons. It's especially memorable for the counselors and campers who have developed a special, unique bond all week. Today can be easy, full of stories from the week of camp that brought so much joy.

It can also be hard because some of the campers don't want to leave. Maybe they had such a good time all week ... or maybe they know the harsh realities that face them upon their return.

The camp is for children with a history of abuse and neglect so the latter is a difficult possibility to imagine.

Lots of tears were shed at pickup this afternoon. It's a special time to meet the caregivers but it can also be difficult as well.

We do ask that you continue praying for these kids even as camp concludes. Lift them up in prayer this week specifically by name. Ask God to help them with their transition back home and for recollections of hope and positive memories from their week at Royal Family Kids Camp.

Blessings,

Darren

p.s. Pray for the 2nd session of camp which begins in about 3 weeks! It's a quick turnaround but we are already looking forward to it. And if you've been touched by these emails and fill called to help, we could still use male or female counselors. The date is July 7-12 - sign up here: ofckids.org
