Prayer

My heart breaks for Kanakuk. On Friday, as a former staff member I received an e-mail from their COO, informing me about one of their directors who was recently charged with being involved in illicit sex crimes against teen-aged boys. He has been charged with two counts of misconduct with a boy aged 15. He was at Kamp when I was there as a very young director...he's only 2 or 3 years older than I am. He has a wife and a little girl.
It is so terrible to me that a place like Kanakuk where God is exalted and children and youth are led to Him every day, Satan is still in the midst. This is where I do not understand. In my own life, I have seen the work of Satan and how it destroys everything in it's path. I feel so helpless when this happens. I know that God's power is greater but sometimes it is just so disheartening to see that not just those who allow Satan to overtake them, but the trickle down affect that it leaves on others.
As a mother, this kind of thing makes me scared for my boys. Scared to leave them at a camp, scared to let them go out in the world, a world full of sin. And yet, I know that I will have to let them go and all I can do is just pray.
Pray for Kanakuk. Pray for the boys who lives will never be the same because of what has been done to them. Pray for Katie (the wife of the director who is being charged) and for the little girl. Pray for justice to be served.
