Pray for Last Bell Camps & Orphan Volunteers
Summer is a special prayer opportunity: we’ll spend extra time with orphanage graduates during busy days at camp. And we’ll get to witness young people giving back by volunteering!
How to pray for Last Bell’s camps:
- Pray for safety and health, especially for our Stop the Cycle families with young children taking a long bus ride and playing by the sea
- Pray for the unfolding of trust-based relationships with orphanage graduates
- Pray for sustained energy and wisdom for our staff
