My Dear Home Team,

I cannot believe that it’s almost August already….but time does fly when you are totally focused on a task and that is exactly what I was for the last month and a half. We were preparing for God to show up at our camp and did He ever!!! I have enclosed some camper comments with this letter.

Our theme this year is “Get Focused” from Phil. 3:13-14 which is really a really good one for athletes and for us as we were preparing for camp and at camp. As usual Satan tried to discourage us with all kinds of “obstacles” like … a Huddle Leader dropping out on Fri. BUT within minutes God had provided another one…we couldn’t use the auditorium at Central College because of a light problem BUT another facility was provided which was adequate,…we found out last minute that a gym we thought was available to us on Wed. morning wasn’t BUT we were able to overcome that…you get the picture J!

Many lives were impacted for Jesus Christ and we pray that decisions were not made on an emotional basis but rather on a true understanding of who God is and why we should live our lives for HIM. Please pray to that end.

We also have our Golf event and Power Camp for grades 2-6 next week. Personally, I have my Leadership Team Retreat and my first ever family reunion. And then it’s about time for school to start….PHEW!!!

Please pray that God would continue to use this ministry to bring people to faith in HIS Son and to compete and coach to bring glory and honor to HIM.

Thank you so much for your continued support, prayers, and encouragement.

In HIS joyful service, Jan Werling

Camper comments:

“I’ve realized the importance of Christian friendships and my responsibility as one who loves Christ to share Him…especially with my teammates.”

“I have been reminded how much I want to stay pure.”

“I have definitely grown in my relationship with God. I’ve been challenged to pray a lot more and spend more time in the Word.”

“I have accepted Christ in my life and it has helped me realize what I need to do to help myself and let God take control and fix me!”
“I learned how to glorify God while playing sports.”

“It made me realize I am on a path to making bad decisions and brought me back to God.”

“I have grown spiritually like no other camp has ever done. I have also grown athletically through this camp.”
