In just under four weeks, our student ministry will be heading to Fort Worth, Texas, for our summer camp trip with Fuge Camps. For us, this is one of the best weeks of the year—for so many reasons. It's partly the fun, partly the new experiences away from home, and partly the time spent building relationships. But more than anything, it’s because God shows up in a big way—every single time.
This year, we’ve been praying that it will be no different.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: camp is a big part of my story. God has used it in several different ways to both bring me to faith in Him and to grow me in spiritual maturity. Because of that, I will always champion this time and encourage every one of our students to attend. I’ve seen firsthand the incredible things God has done through this ministry.
This year, we’re taking over 20 students to camp, and we’re excited to see what God will do in and through them as we attend and serve the Fort Worth community.
Thank you, church, for supporting these students in their efforts to get to camp this year—especially by attending our spring fundraiser meal. If you were there, you should have gone home with a prayer card featuring a student’s name. If not, no worries—you can still pray for our students!
If you would, please use the prompts below to pray specifically for the students you know by name, and generally for our group as a whole.
1. Pray for open hearts.
Ask God to soften students’ hearts so they are ready to hear His voice, respond to His Word, and receive His love in a personal way.
2. Pray for salvation.
Pray specifically that students who have not yet placed their faith in Jesus would clearly understand the gospel and surrender their lives to Him.
3. Pray for spiritual growth.
Lift up students who already know Christ—that this week would deepen their walk, strengthen their faith, and help them take the next step in their relationship with Him.
4. Pray for unity.
Ask God to build a strong sense of community among the group, breaking down cliques, healing past hurts, and fostering meaningful friendships centered on Christ.
5. Pray for clarity and direction.
Ask God to provide guidance to students who are seeking answers—about their purpose, future, or calling—and to confirm His plans in their hearts.
6. Pray for lasting impact.
Ask God not only to work powerfully during the week but to allow the spiritual momentum from camp to carry over into students’ lives back home.
Your prayers are powerful and needed! Thank you for crying out to the Lord in obedience and advocacy for these students. Thank you Grace for helping reach the next generations!
Peace and Blessings,
Bryant Hart
