NEW BLOG // A SWEET SUMMER // Layni Daigle // Stateside Missions
Our July was filled with many of the simple, ordinary moments that make up summer, but scattered among them were some especially beautiful reminders of God’s goodness and faithfulness. In early July, Family Missions Company hosted their annual Faith Camp for high school teens—a special week set apart for young people to encounter the Lord, grow deeper in their faith, and encourage one another in their walk with Him.
I had the opportunity to spend a few days serving behind the scenes, helping prepare meals in the kitchen, while my husband Zach volunteered for DOP duty (Dads On Patrol, aka the camp’s nighttime security).
Although it seemed like simple work, we were grateful for the opportunity to serve and to be a small part of what God was doing throughout the week. There is such JOY in knowing that even the seemingly ordinary tasks can become an offering to the Lord when done with love. And then came an especially sweet gift.
During Faith Camp week, we were overjoyed to be reunited with our dear friend Fabricio from Costa Rica! Through a generous donation, Fabricio was able to make the trip to Faith Camp and experience the week himself as a staff member. What a beautiful answer to prayer and reminder of God’s provision for this faithful teenager!
We were so happy to see and hug him again. Seeing him there was a reminder to us that God is always at work—providing, connecting, and faithfully bringing people together in His perfect timing. Our hearts are so grateful. God is indeed SO good!...
