Summer 2009

Jenny's Journal
The Lord allowed me to spend my summer at Camp CoBeAc in Prudenville, Michigan. It has been a great summer. My job was hospitality. I had the privilege of working with 6 other girls. Our job was to keep all of the buildings clean. We would clean the chapel, gym, pavilion, lodge, latrine and the bath house. Since my job was cleaning, you don't really get to spend a lot of time with the kids. I did however, have the privilege of leading in devotions with the girl campers. This was truly a blessing to me. I was scared when they asked, but the Lord helped me through it. I helped with Junior camp by supervising a girls cabin in the morning. Through this opportunity I really got to know some of the girl campers.
The Lord has taught me a great deal this Summer. I struggled with counseling others. I did not think I could do it. So, I started praying that the Lord would send some girls that I would be able to encourage. This week i was able to talk to a handful of girls. All but one of the girls I had talked to came from an unsaved family. It was neat to see how the Lord used my life experience to minister to these girls. One of the girls that I remember most, told me her whole life story and I could relate to everything that she was saying. I was able to give her some verses that has helped and encouraged me. It is neat to see how the Lord helps us through trials. It is even a greater blessing to see how we are able to help and encourage others as a result of our experiences.
I was very busy with camp...sorry that I did not get to update as much. I am going to try to do better. I also did not have a computer cord this summer. My cord broke....praise-someone was able to get one for me!
I am going to be participating in an internship program at Camp CoBeAc for one year. My meals and lodging will be provided by Camp CoBeAc and Retreat Center however, I will need to raise financial support to cover other expenses I will have for the year. As of right now, I don't have one main job. I am learning to do a little bit of everything, including working in the coffee shop, snack shop and office. The camp has a Bible Institute that will be starting this fall: Walk Right Bible Institute . I am looking forward to seeing what the Lord has for me here at Camp CoBeAc.
I will post pictures soon!!
