Prayer for Camp 2025

Heavenly Father, we pray that You will do a new thing within us all at camp this year!  From worship, to The Word spoken over5 us, and to the prayers that will go out.  God have Your way.  Help us to yield to Your Spirit and as You move, we will move with You.  May everything be done for Your Glory!  Create rivers int the dry wastelands in our lives and make a pathway through the wilderness we face, so that Your called and chosen will be refreshed.  God, please place in us a heart of expectancy for breakthroughs, healing, lives to be completely changed, and eyes opened to the truth of Your Word. Heavenly Father, we expect You to do a new thing, in Jesus' name! Amen.

Thank you for all your prayers for General Synod.
