Talking to God

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests."

Ephesians 6:18

Think about all the time campers and staff spend in prayer during their time a Camp. A prayer is said at flag devo to start the day. Prayers are said before each meal. During Group and Cabin Bibles there are usually multiple prayers offered. All campers and staff members are encouraged to spend time in prayer during Quiet Time. Multiple prayers are said during both Hymn time and Worship. A prayer is offered to end each night devo, which signals the end of the camp day. During two week sessions, the second Sunday night is focused on prayer, highlighted with All Night Prayer.

One of the goals of Camp Deer Run is to give young people a place to go and develop a deep relationship with God. If you have ever been to Camp then you realize that there is no better place to do that than there. Campers and staff are both challenged to work on their prayer life while at Camp, and being able to do that in God's beauty is a wonderful blessing.

Prayer is such an important focus of Camp, and I would like that to carry over to this blog. One of the goals of this blog is to bring together Camp Deer Run Alumni and try to create a little bit of community where we can share thoughts, ideas, and memories with each other. To add on to that, this is also a great place to be able to share prayer requests, praises, and anything else that we may want to take to God. I am going to start a weekly Prayer Request post that will list any request that I recieve during the week. I will usually try to do this on Sundays. There is no better way to come together as a community than by praying for each other.

Any time you have something you want others to pray about, email it to me at cdralumni@gmail.com . I will gather all prayer requests and post them in a prayer post. I hope that this is something we can really get going and be able to support each other through prayer. It will also be a great way to keep everybody up to date with things to pray about Camp for. Spread the word about this blog and let anyone you know who may be interested. Thanks for the support. I will post the first prayer request list this Sunday. God Bless!
