Today is our final day in New Jersey as well as our last day of Day Camp. Our students have bonded with the campers in more ways than they ever thought they would. They have already admitted that there will be tears when the campers leave and there is nothing we can do to stop it. I wouldn’t want to.
Yesterday we spent the day at a working farm that limits the technology to the 1890’s. As we were walking around the farm I had the opportunity to tell the young man I got to hang out with what that meant and he asked me if that is why he could not get wifi by the house. Yes, that is why.
We got to take students to see cows, a huge (ugly) pig, chickens, horses, corn fields, and tools from the past. The best part was how much fun they had together while looking at everything. This group has really bonded and grown together.
Please pray for Aslan Youth Ministries to have a continued and growing impact on the students they serve. As we leave Saturday morning to return home we are praying for the relationships that have been formed. We know God can work miracles and want to see him work in their lives. Also, please pray for our team to have the energy we need to finish well. We have not had much rest and are all very tired. God has been faithful to give us what we need and right now we simply want to finish strong and love one other well.
Thank you for partnering with us in prayer.
