Updated December 10, 2008

Merry Christmas! On December 11–13, we have the last two camps of 2008. Thank
you all so much for your prayers and support throughout this wonderful year of ministry. Despite very difficult times in our economy, we are encouraged to see folks making it a priority to go to camp. Recently, we had a planning meeting that reviewed what the heart of camp is—hearing the Word of God, eliminating worldly influences and the distractions of life, away from home overnight in a new setting, reflecting on the Word and my life in a Creation context, trained staff leading unique and organized activities.

If you are interested in adding one of our staff team to your Christmas list, I have asked them to share an item that would be helpful in their home. Click here to see their Christmas Home Wish List.

Thanks again! We look forward to seeing you in 2009!
