This Monday at Teen Haven Camp, Vinny Mikusow was waiting for the campers to arrive and praying for wisdom and discernment about the schedule of camp. On a week with such record breaking high temperatures he wanted to be creative about how to keep the campers cool, and refreshed, so that the boys could have a really positive time at camp. Just about this time... up pulls a vehicle that is literally brimming with food donations for the Camp. From fresh sweet corn, ripe tomatoes, pastries, and fruit to 6 gallons of ice cream!I was , one of the people that happened to be praying for camp, and for God’s grace to guide the staff and camp counselors as they welcomed the 9-11 yr. old boys to camp! And if you know me well, you’ll know I happen to be a bit of an ice cream fanatic. This donor’s willingness to give so generously reflected God’s perfect timing to meet Vinny and the campers with a very real and tangible need. Afterall, what tastes better than ice cream on a really hot day??
As Vinny helped unload the donations, he watched as slowly the countertops of the kitchen were filled. One of the many delicious blessings of this donation was that the camp staff decided to use the ice cream to bless the campers with a surprise ice cream sundae party, to conclude one of their evening activities!
God's faithfulness, in using his people is a beautiful thing. In this story, he was answering Vinny's prayers before the campers even pulled in to camp.
