Today is the first of May, 2013. It's less than two months before 2nd Mile Ministries begins its 5th Annual Summer Day Camp! I'm super pumped to be in Jacksonville this summer. The first summer that I lived in Jacksonville (2010), the camp was the main event. Everybody was hype (energized) and so many kids got to hear the gospel message. I haven't been in Jacksonville for a summer since that year and I'm excited to experience similar excitement as well as developments and changes made to the camp the past few years.
When the school year is over on June 7th, 2nd Mile has two weeks to plan different camp stations which include dance, arts and crafts, Bible lessons, music, sports, and challenge circle. Our camp director has been busy planning already and compiling lists of things needed for camp to run well.
Take a quick look at some things we need for camp.

If you want to send any of those items, you can send them to 325 W. 22nd St., Jacksonville, FL 32206. Or if you'd rather donate online, you can donate at 2ndmile-jax.com and specify what you'd like your donation to be used for.
If you have worked at kid's camps before and have ideas for a fun Friday activity for between 50-60 kids, please let me know. You can email me at lilvollmer@gmail.com. Feel free to comment with ideas on this blog.
Prayer requests (which I realize I don't often offer)
-That our after school program leaders would continue to run all the way through the finish line of the school year without slowing up on discipline and educational-focused activities.
-That we'd make the most of whatever God provides for us this summer for camp.
-That the summer interns come energized and willing to serve and love the community.
-That Christ would be glorified and that'd it be clear that it is because of Him that any hearts would be changed for Him.
For your meditation and listening time
