Next Mission, Next Generation
Building Missionaries
Often, when we think about reaching Louisiana, we focus on the present. However, who will fill our shoes in 2035, 2045, and even 2055? We must train the next generation and instill a passion for missions in the lives of our children. This is the heartbeat of Children’s Mission Camp (CMC) at Tall Timbers.
Last summer, a sixth grader experienced missions firsthand by spending time with actual missionaries. She was so inspired that she committed to becoming a missionary in her school and wherever God calls her in the future. CMC not only inspires and challenges children, but also has another incredible benefit: It provides college students with an opportunity to lead in missions – many for the first time! Last year, ten decisions for Christ were made and over $1500 was raised for the Georgia Barnette Louisiana Missions Offering.
It’s important to consider what God is doing now but imagine what He will do in the days ahead because of this week-long missions experience.
Prayer Needs
- Ask God to prepare the hearts of the campers to encounter Him and grow deeper in their knowledge of Him.
- Pray for the camp pastor, worship leaders, and missionaries as they invest their time impacting these young lives.
- Pray that God will grant CMC Camp Staff the words, patience, and wisdom they need in ministering to the children.
