But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things- and the things that are not- to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom, holiness, and redemption.
I wanted to give an update on my friend, Natalia, and her 5 girls who I asked you to pray for. God heard your prayers! Not only are the girls now wanting to hang out with her, but they've made some evident changes in their lives (always easier to do at camp of course, the challenge comes in staying the course when they get home). Ironically enough (an obvious God thing, really!), there was another group in her cabin who had come for the first time. I just learned that these girls (also named Kasia and Patrycia) are the ones who Kaylor has attached herself to! I posted a picture of Kaylor with two of them this week (Kaylor was wearing a head scarf)... I didn't realize until yesterday that Natalia also had them in her cabin and I had been praying for them as well! Wednesday evening following the message and invitation, all those girls we had been praying for stayed and rededicated their lives to Christ. Thank you for your prayers and Natalia is humbled by your prayers as well.
24 made decisions (accepting Christ, rededicating their lives to Christ or making some type of decision, etc.) this week. 62 made some type of decision last week. #'s are of course great, but each # has a name and a face and a life story. Pray for all the youth that come through these weeks of camps... God has a great and special plan for them all and may they grasp "making His name great among all the nations!"
Have a great day!
