Please Pray For Our Kampers!

Dear Friends,

On July 20 at 7:30 a.m., thirty-two Granny's House kids and staff members* depart for Kids Across America Kamp. We'll have eight days in what some kampers call “paradise”- a week of canoeing, rappelling, volleyball, swimming, cheerleading, ski-tubing etc., all while being immersed in the beauty of God's creation, His love, and His Word.

For months, the kids have been working diligently, doing chores around Granny's House to earn points to spend at the Granny's House Kamp Store where they “purchase” everything they need to take with them to KAA.

We thought you might want to see all the beautiful smiling faces as a reminder to pray for us while we're at KAA. Would you please pray for our kampers and staff members beginning today and continue praying for us until the day we return to Columbia on Monday, July 27.

Would you please pray for:

• Safe and peaceful travel to and from KAA (south of Branson, MO on Table Rock Lake)

• Health and safety for the kids and staff members, especially during sports-related activities

• Comfort for those who may struggle with homesickness (this is the very 1st time some of our kids have ever been away from mom!)

• Redemptive relationships with cabin-mates and counselors

• To experience God's tender mercies and love in areas of pain, fear, and brokenness

• To grow in leadership and boldness to live an uncompromised Christian lifestyle when they return home

• To grow in their relationship with their Heavenly Father

We are so happy to know that you'll be showering us with prayer during our week at KAA!

God bless you!

Granny Pam
