As I reflect on this summer, I’m reminded once again of how God works through the simple act of spending time with others, building relationships, and sharing the love of Jesus.
Kids Camp: A Summer of Impact
For the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving on the director team of Kids Camp. This summer, more than 100 children attended, and we celebrated 10 baptisms! Throughout the week, we saw children begin to understand how following Christ should shape their daily choices and behavior.
One of my favorite highlights was watching the children give generously to support Missionary Ryan and the work he is doing in the local middle schools . Their goal was $2,000, but they exceeded it with a total over $3000! It was exciting to see them realize they could play a part in sharing the Gospel beyond their own community.
Ability Camp: A Life Changed
I also spent three weeks serving on the leadership team at Ability Camp, which welcomes adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. One particularly meaningful story was that of Noah, a first-time camper who arrived with little understanding of or relationship with Jesus. Through conversations with his counselors, Noah began asking questions and exploring what it meant to follow Christ. By the end of the week, he had committed his life to Jesus and was baptized! From casting his line for fish to becoming a fisher of men. It doesn’t get any better.
Why This Ministry Matters
These experiences continue to remind me that relationships matter. When we take time to invest in people and share our faith authentically, God can use those moments to change lives for eternity.
Thank you for your faithful prayers, encouragement, and financial support. Your partnership helps create opportunities to share the Gospel and see lives transformed. I’m grateful to have you alongside me in this ministry!
