In mid-April I had five staff members join me in fasting and praying for the upcoming summer. One of the prayer focuses we had for the day was a need for more male counselors. At the time it looked like we could use another 4 (or more) guy staff members.
During the day I had the "random" idea to contact a staff member from two summers ago. (I say "random" because I'm sure God was leading my steps.) I asked him to pray about being a counselor at camp this summer.
To my surprise, he said he would consider it. To my even greater surprise... about a week later he agreed to work for COCUSA, even though it meant turning down a better paying job at a construction site for the summer.
Go figure. Prayer works!
Maybe we should all do it a little more.
