Text Box: Centrifuge   Group Leader Information

Welcome to Centrifuge. We are excited you have chosen to attend Centrifuge, and we look forward to our week together. Expect God to impact the life of every person you bring. As you pray for your students and sponsors, know we share in your effort. We covet your prayers and look forward to ministering with you.

Below are some suggestions as you prepare for your week at Centrifuge:

•  Pray for yourself, the children and sponsors who will attend camp.

•  Begin to identify the unique needs of each child and adult.

•  Work with your group to determine your objectives in choosing to attend Centrifuge. Periodically remind the group of the objectives they establish.

•  Examine and communicate the responsibilities of your adult sponsors.

•  Assign to each sponsor the names of the 5 children for whom they should pray and with whom they should seek to develop relationships as they prepare to attend camp.

•  Help your children and sponsors understand what to expect during their week at camp. Share with them that the benefits they receive from camp will depend greatly on how much they are willing to involve themselves in it.

•  Conduct an informational meeting with the parents of children who will be attending.
