Royal Family Kids Camp (RFKC)

tamera wolf -  leader of RFKC

I’m Tamara, and I just got back from camp. A special thank you for praying for and supporting year three of the Royal Family Kids Camp Aug 24-29. A special shout-out to several folks who either came to camp as counselors, or who helped throw a fabulous birthday carnival last Wednesday for the 29 foster kids who attended camp with booths, prizes and fresh energy. All in all, Mission accomplished - abused and neglected foster children ages 7-12 were treated like royalty for a week, shown God’s powerful love and got the chance to try new things and make lasting positive memories. Our camp verse was Romans 8:38 “Nothing can ever separate me from His love.”

What did I learn at camp this week? I was reminded God has a unique plan for each life (yours included)! It’s easy to miss in the chaos of each day, but there is deep meaning and immense joy in knowing we were created with a special plan and purpose. Are you living that out?

Please pray for the campers as they return to school, and for some, to their difficult home lives in group homes, foster families, or with extended family. Pray that mentoring relationships would be established and that they would cling to the promises they learned at camp.

Campers eagerly volunteer to lead the prayer before meal times. So, I leave you with this simple prayer offered daily from one of our more difficult campers, “Dear Lord, thank you for this day and for this camp. Thank you for all the counselors. I love you all. You guys are great. Amen.”
