Hello everyone! Thank you for your patience with this last update for our tour this summer. I had been slacking after we got back from Beaver Lake (No internet to update with at this camp), and I apologize for leaving you hanging! But to the more important stuff- our last camp and everything afterwards. It was our opportunity to be counselors of the cabins at Beaver Lake, and it was a very growing time for the team. There were a lot of hurting kids here from reserves around the Flin Flon Area, and we had about 20 in all. The miracle of this camp though was that it actually was running this week! There was no more funds coming in to keep it running, and by God's hand, they received a sum allowing them to do another week! Praise the Lord! We all learned a lot at this last camp; things about ministry, and about ourselves. I personally had never gone to a camp like this before, and I learned a lot about relying on God for strength...because I was burning out and losing energy. We all were. BUT! (and that's a big but), God was gracious and brought us through this last exhausting week and helped us be a light to His children at Beaver Lake Bible Camp. "No matter how tired we get, our spirits don't have to be"- a wise word from Ryan, the director of Madge Lake Bible Camp last Camp tour that will forever stick in my head and keep me focused on the Lord's provision.One girl came to Christ during our stay here (WOOOHOOO!!!) and we would ask that you keep her in your prayers as she heads in to a brand new stage of her life! And after a long drive all the way back to Caronport, we took time to thank God and marvel at the amazing things we had seen Him do in this tour. Praise God for another opportunity to go to camps and share His love in our lives! Thank you all very much for your prayers and support. We hope to share more joy as the school year at Briercrest continues again, and what the Lord has for us in the future! This is the end of our 2011 Camp Tour, but for some new Christians are just starting their lives! Blessings,
Jesse
