[living thru the flames]

Standing in a huge huddle with all the rest of summer staff tonight,
praying,
feeling the power and truth behind the words,
I knew that a mere fire cannot burn down Eagle Lake Camp.

{The real Eagle Lake is a group of people, who come together in Him, and make up the body.}

Eagle Lake might look like a group of highly flammable wooden buildings from the outside, but on the inside, it will stand even if the buildings burn. Jesus is with us in this fiery furnace.

And He will protect us.      

For the time being, the physical camp site of Eagle Lake Camps is safe. Firefighters have decided to use the property as a base for trying to keep the fire on the south side of Rampart Range and not any further past ELC's property. So far we do not have any structures on fire. It's looking promising, no doubt because of the powerful prayers that everyone has been praying over the property. If you get a chance, please pray for the men and women fighting the fire right now, as well as the numerous families that have been evacuated from surrounding areas. Also be in prayer for the children who will not make it to camp, and the campers who had to cut their time at Eagle Lake short because of the fire. Please be in prayer for staff, that we can keep running this race with the same endurance we were able to have before the fire. We are all evacuated and have been meeting here in the Springs. And one of the things that even the two-year-old that I nanny have been doing is praying. Continuously. Always. Unconditionally.

Fire, even this much of it, isn't going to stop the power of those prayers.
