Church of the Open Door Student Ministires

This week we officially had our first camping group in, and it was a great start to the summer. An old Awana counselor, Brett Ayers, is a youth pastor at Church of the Open Door in York, Pennsylvania and most summers he makes the long trek up here with a bunch of his high school students. This group has proven to be a highlight of my summer with their laid back attitudes and one of the most thankful spirits I've ever encountered. Their leaders are phenomenal and both times I've had the pleasure of working with them, God has blessed this group with the production of spiritual fruit while the spend their week away from the world and its distractions.

Because 40 people is a lot to pack for up river I didn't get that much of a chance to go out with them on their day trips, but I have a few pictures that I thought I'd throw up here so you could get a glimpse of their group. 

This is most of their amazing leaders. Watch out Satan, this is a force to be reckoned with! 

Mmm, lunch on Mt. Sinai. 

While up river the group did several baptisms. For many of the group, this was the highlight of the week, hearing the testimonies of their peers. 

Prayer time after the baptisms. 

And there they all are. Man, just love what I do!

So that is all I've got. Great kids, great week, I couldn't ask for more. For you prayer warriors out there, we saw a lot of potential for growth this week and if you could continue praying that these kids (and leaders) would allow the God they experienced in a big way to change their life as the go home it would be greatly appreciated. It is hard to believe we are only one week in; God has big thing in store for Canadian Adventure.
