Firstly, thank you to all who prayed for our youth this past week (July 22-25). 5 churches were represented this week, about 140 students attending.
Here are some quick updates on this week:
Our 2 JH boys
One student confessed his pride struggles, and he showed the fruit over the next day we were at camp.
Several students committed to actively living their lives for serving Christ.
At least four students came forward to receive Christ!
James was praying someone would experience a miracle to help their faith grow deeper. He was born color blind (able to see black/white, grays, and brown (typically from red)). After about 30 minutes of praying for his fellow students, he opened his eyes to notice the stage lights looked different. This young man, praying someone else might experience a miracle, had his own! James is no longer color blind!
James is not from my congregation, but he was in my cabin. We did not get to bed until after 1:00 am, because he kept discovering new colors and shades
Immediately after the Wednesday night prayer time. James is surrounded by friends praising God.
It is always amazing to see the goodness of God. Please continue to pray for our new believers, students who had major breakthroughs, and for James and his new vision!
There were so many people involved, but my friend Jason (youth pastor for our “big” Calvary Chapel here, and his parents are in our congregation) was our lead this week. He and I did head up the apologetic side, and he and four other men took on the teaching in each session. I had a last minute request to head up the prayer team for the final night’s session, which is when all heaven broke loose! (That session lasted 4 hours! We were all late to bed, my cabin even moreso!)
5 youth groups were represented, 54 from the hosting church.
I keep hearing more stories of how youth and adults there have already been affected, and I have been able to encourage a few people already. We are already planning an evangelistic outing with at least 3 of our groups, and we have a youth worship night in a couple of months.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
a simple man of God 
Bless you, my brother! God is using you.

Praise God, I just prayed that God uses all of this people to know him and forgot to be glorified!
