Philippians, seems to be a lot of our favorite "looking back @ Kaleo" verse
Kaleo, you are all missed greatly! But it’s so cool to see some of you slowly come back to camp and others getting settled in in your camp/ministry/jobs! As advanced crew we are going thru the Book of Philippians for our Bible Study. There is one part that has really stuck out to me and has been on my heart for all of you;
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
I find my heart welling up with thankfulness to God for all of you. As I tell new staff members stories from the past year, I begin to realize how powerful of a year it was, and how blessed I was to see this “Good work” in Action! I know when you guys left, we were all a little anxious for you. Would of way rather you been close by, where we can encourage you in person, help you when you struggle ect ect ect, but that feeling didn’t last long. It was out of a lack of trust. The Lord begun a good work in you, He drew you all to Kaleo and He sent you all from it, and he will continue to work and lead you until you are in perfection with Christ! So carry on to work out your salvation with fear and tremebling, for it’s the Lord’s work!
That being said Advanced Crew has been very challenging and oh so so so good! We just had family camp retreat, I loved it. Playing with small children, telling them about their loving father in heaven, seeing families lives actually tangibly touched with Christ’s love. Wow, it reminds me oh how sweet our salvation really is! I finally got to fully step into my role and plan the kids program and babysitting and even some skits (one of which Josh was one of the main characters and incredibly funny, never knew he had such a talent for the stage!).
This (Head Counseling) is a job Amanda did incredibly well for many years and wile I don’t need to be her, there still is a very sharp learning curve and everything at camp is very different for me. Even my relationships with other staff, just so different. So your prayers for me and for the staff team as a whole would be greatly appreciated! Ohh how I need the Lord’s words, the spirit’s discernment, the Fathers love and God’s power.
Praying for all of you with pure joy and thankfulness in my heart!
