Pray for Camp, Campers, Camp Staff

We are just a few weeks away from heading off to camp. There is a long list of things to do to prepare to go to camp. The most important thing we can do, and you can help, is pray.

Begin to pray now for our hearts to be receptive for what God wants to teach us while we are at camp. Pray for our attitudes and our ability to get along together as 40 of us live together for one week in one big log cabin. Pray for our health and safety. Pray for our travel safety and riding together for 9 hours in vans. Pray for the energy and wisdom of our staff.

Here is a list of our campers and staff so you can begin to pray for us:

New Camp New Blog


For the past 10 years we have attended a fantastic youth camp, Student Life. Student Life is the best as what they do.

This year we thought we would venture out and try something new. We are hosting our own camp for our students.

We will spend several days together in a log cabin in the Smoky Mountains. This cabin is huge (sleeps 40). We are taking a team of adults along to help us pull off Camp Contagious. We have a cook, 3 discussion group leaders, 1 morning Bible study leader, 1 evening Bible study leader, a worship leader and even a high school student who will lead a discussion group. All of us, including students, will pitch in on the cooking and cleaning.

For fun we will be going to Dollywood one day and whitewater rafting another afternoon. The house has a tiny pool in the downstairs but there is a huge pool on the property. We plan on toting with us a tub full of table games and a couple of Wii units. We will also take a hike in the mountains.

This should be exciting week for the students of NHC who attend the first ever Camp Contagious!

Check back soon to see our pre-camp prayer requests. You can begin now to pray for us and our students for our travel as well as God beginning now to work in hearts and lives.

During the week of camp you will be able to e-mail campers and staff from this page as well as watch video and see pictures. We will do our best to post something everyday.
