We are gearing up for Breakaway’s summer adventure camp for children of inmates and other at-risk youth: July 12-16.

It’s been amazing to see how everything has come together for this year’s camping experience and the people God has brought on board to lead these kids into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Please be in prayer for God to change many lives and that mentoring relationships will be birthed out of this momentous outreach opportunity!

Here are several specifics to pray for:

1)   That every child would experience God’s presence in his or her life. Many of these children will hear the Gospel for the very first time through camp. Pray that they hear it with simplicity and clarity, and a willingness to respond to the life Jesus longs to give them (John 10:10).

2)   For camp leaders to be instruments of grace, healing, and reconciliation. Many of these kids have suffered abuse, abandonment, and rejection of all sorts. Therefore, trust is not easy for them. Most of them have been hurt by an adult in some fashion. Pray for trust to be fostered between our adult leaders and the kids.

3)   Pray for our bus drivers and safety in travel. We are so thankful for our partnering churches who will be transporting the kids to and from camp.

4)   Pray for adult/youth relationships to be birthed during camp that will transfer into year-round mentoring relationships. Camp is not a hit-and-run with these kids. It’s only the beginning of what will become ongoing intervention in their lives.

5)   For the families of these children. Most have either one or both parents incarcerated, leaving them under the care of a single parent, a grandma, or another guardian. The camping experience often opens the doors to reach out to these fragmented families with the love of God in tangible and holistic ways. Pray for open doors and receptivity on the part of the families of the kids.

Thank you for praying with us and partnering with Breakaway Outreach to help shape eternity one child at a time!
