Had sunny weather yesterday which helped dry everything out. Camp is like a swamp! Porta-loos arrived late yesterday and arrived to a cheer like I’m sure they’ve never heard before! Gas man came and tried to mend gas. Thought he’d mended one of them only to have it break during tea- which then took 5 hours to make the kids one sausage and a little bit of mash (all the potatoes boiled in the urn!!). That was a bit soul destroying but gas man coming again today and we’re planning a better contingency plan. Kids are having fun, leaders are more shattered than normal as working twice as hard but god is good. Thanks for all your prayers! Much appreciated.

Love Ali

I’ve had a message from Youth Camp asking us to pray for a couple of issues.

Firstly, they have been having problems with the cookers. Please pray that these will be sorted so that the cooks can produce the food camp is famous for.

Secondly, the porta-loos did not turn up on Saturday. While the campers have access to other toilets this access is made worse by the weather they are experiencing at the moment. Please pray that they will be able to arrange for delivery today.

Friendships – All the campers are getting used to sharing tents,porta-loos and a new routine.
Pray for those who are feeling homesick to make good friends and enjoy camp.
pray for good relationships – there are plenty of opportunities to get to know each other sharing tents, in the team games and challenges and eating together.

Everyone arrives. Normally there is an advance party to set up camp, but it hasn’t been possible this year. There will be a lot to do in very little time! Pray for good team work, safety and for Ed Francis as he heads up the Equipment team.
