A little more like Jesus,

A little less like me

💧Wednesday at the Well💧

Midweek can leave us spiritually tired, emotionally drained, and carrying burdens nobody else sees. But just like the woman at the well, we can meet Jesus in the middle of ordinary moments and leave changed.

Today, bring your worries, fears, grief, exhaustion, or prayer requests to the well. Jesus still offers Living Water for thirsty hearts.

Drop a prayer request below, encourage someone in the comments, or simply leave a 💧 so we can pray for you today.
"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

The well is open. 🙏💧

Summer Camp has officially begun at Lake Sallateeska!⛺️☀️🎒
I don't know about the rest of my CBA family but some of the best summers of my life was spent at Camp Warren in Long Creek and later Nazarene Acres in Mechanicsburg. I had counselors like Stella & Leslie Eads and Marion Blankenship that poured into me, shared Jesus with me and showed me what it was like to mentor the next generation. They are names I think of often now that I am pouring into the next generation! -Jamie
