Pray that God will do a great work in the hearts of 69 young people who have come from villages all over NW Cambodia to attend the third annual Youth Discipleship Camp in Battambang which began today and continues through Aug. 28th. They will study the Bible with Cambodian Ministry Partners on the theme "Walking with Christ."
Short-term teams from Ashland, Wooster and Pataskala, Ohio, have safely arrived and will be teaching English and First Aid in the afternoons. Pray that God would greatly bless their ministry to campers, and that the Holy Spirit would work through them in spite of cultural and language difficulties.
Pray that the Cambodians who will be trained in first aid will allow the love of Christ to overcome cultural inhibitions that would keep them from helping others who have been injured in accidents.
Please pray for safety during the camp, that God would protect staff and campers from accident and illness.
Pray that young people would be blessed and strengthened in their faith and that they will transmit what they will have learned to others in their home villages. Pray that many would open their hearts to a greater response to God's call on their lives.
