Pray for revival in our campgrounds in USA

Once a year the family on my husband's side try to get together and vacation in a different campground within a reasonable perimeter of travel that accomodates all the members. The main origin of exodus is from Michigan since we are the only family members that attend who do not live in Michigan. In the ten years we have been doing this we have camped and visited various places in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Virginia (Williamsburg), SC (Myrtle Beach) and the last being Logan, Ohio. Most campgrounds offer Sunday morning services. On Memorial Day weekend one particular campground had over 300 units and each unit represents one family. Last Sunday the second campground had over 400 units but it was not full probably due to the fact that peak season doesn't start until school is out. In our experience, there have also been campgrounds that have not offered Sunday services but they have posted the names and addresses of churches nearest to the campground. The last t wo Sundays, I attended each morning service and found that not more than 10 families were represented in both campgrounds; that's less than 1 percent. Part of that is due to the fact that there is less traffic on Sundays and most people leave early Sunday morning to head home or head to their next destination.

Please pray for an increase of attendance and revival in our campgrounds in America.

Thanks!

Dear CAMPBELL,

I wouldn't let it discourage you.

We attend church all the year 'round, but we don't attend when we are on vacation, and certainly not when we are camping.

Many people there may have been churchgoers who love God, but didn't attend services.

I can understand your feelings though.

I'll bet the services are wonderful.

I'm so glad your family still gets together.

Many families are broken all apart.
