Here we are at Victory Week 6. We are down to 22 summer staff (from about 30) after losing Muffin (male dorm sup), Zakira (female dorm sup), Netta (Children's Ministry/D-Team), Jacob (dining room), Tyler (dining room), Becky (Teen Min), and Jalapeno (teen ministry/d-team).
So we're barely scraping by...but we've got enough to cover. God continues to amaze us as He works in us and through us. I am excited to see how He is going to teach the staff as we are all working hard, getting tired, and having to rely solely on Him to be our source of strength.
I know we would all appreciate your continued prayer for energy and strength as we finish out the summer conference weeks...take some down time next week...then gear up for Labor Day weekend. Be in prayer for the Leadership, as we are dwindling down in number...plus having to fill in a lot more holes. Also pray for those who have left us. Many are starting school and the transition between Keswick life and "normal" can be tough.
However, praise Him that we have made it thus far without any catastrophic occurrences, and that He has continually provided for us and blessed us. Also, praise the Lord for the staff that we do have left--they are doing a great job!!
Blessings,
Melia
