I Pray For:

• Jake Walton is finishing his apprenticeship as our Program Coordinator this month. He desires to finish strong by running the Stoney Creek Marathon on November 11. He will be pushing Caleb Derouin, a camper with Cerebral Palsy during the race. His goal is to raise $100,00 for a new camper cabin. Gifts can be made at lakeanncamp.com/donate under the category Finish the Race.
• Elliott Ackerman, our new Program Director, as he goes to South Africa to help Em’seni Camp develop their summer programs. He will be serving at Em’seni November 26 to December 22. 
• The L.I.F.T. intern team are raising funds for their trip to South Africa for their summer camp. They leave with Dave Lamb December 7 and return December 22. Pray for funding and wisdom as they come along side the Em’seni team to help make their camp the best that it can be.
• November is the time we do a lot of summer camp program planning. Pray for the team that our programs will be powerful and life-changing in 2019.
