by | Apr 16, 2015

New Zealand, ANZ Field:  Prayer is being requested for those involved in Zealand’s annual Rock Solid “On the Road Camp”.

Forty teens have been participating in the five-day event that started Monday, April 13. Together with their leaders, the teens are travelling around Northland New Zealand.  This includes Cape Reinga, the northernmost tip of New Zealand, where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean. Each day is filled with adventure, where there are fun activities such as sandboarding, greeting dolphins, visiting the ancient Tane Mahuta tree and swimming at Ka Iwi Lakes.

With the intention of having a good time and meeting new friends, the camp also aims to introduce Jesus Christ into the lives of the youth.  According to missionary Alison Weinstock, many of the participants are still unfamiliar with God and His ways, and this camp has the potential to change that!

Prayer Request:  

We praise God for giving the participants time to relax and an opportunity to know Him in a deeper level. Let’s include in our prayers:

  1. The participants’ health and safety throughout the trip.
  2. That each student and leader on this camp would encounter Jesus Christ in a life-changing way.
  3. Missionary Alison Weinstock, that the Holy Spirit would give her wisdom and clarity during this event.

This will also be Alison’s final year to join the camp, and she is praying that through her, the youth will finally know Jesus and accept Him in their hearts.
