Prayer for the Summer

Hi Everyone at PVM!!
I bet you are all in the midst of training, devotions, servants heart, and possibly the lovely cicadas :o) I hope you are enjoying every minute of it!
It is a wonderful thing for you to devote your summers to serving the Lord at PVM I pray that God will do amazing things in the lives of the campers through you, and also move in your lives as well. I also pray for health and safety throughout the summer for you, and for LOTS of energy!
Have an amazing summer!!!!

Staff Reading

We've looked through hundreds of articles related to Christian Camping and picked out the ones that we thought would most help staff get prepared to serve at camp this summer. We're sending these articles to the staff and junior staff in a packet via snailmail, but I thought it would be nice to post them online in PDF format too so campers, families, and forgetful staff have them at their fingertips.

Here they are (download Adobe Reader here if you don't have it):

• Buggy Behavior - A positive perspective on annoying actions of campers and staff
• Community Unity - Maintaining healthy relationships among staff
• A Light in the Darkness - Four factors that make Christian camping a powerful ministry force
• Meaningful Moments - Make the most of every opportunity to change lives
• Setting Sail for Deeper Waters - How to lead junior campers into more authentic worship
• A Throneroom Perspective - Focusing on God's glory during trying times

We will be using these articles as an integral part of our staff training this year ... please read them and take some notes, highlighting important sections and perhaps even journaling on what you find. Sure, they don't cover every important aspect of life at PVM, but they might really challenge your mind and stir your heart!

Staff Bios

Hey Y'alls,

Before the summer hits, we'll be putting up a new section of the PVM website that profiles all the current full-time and summer staff. Visitors to the website will also be able to email these staff members securely and directly from the website. Here's where I need your help, though ... what categories should we ask the staff about for their bios? Here's what we've got so far:
