It has finally begun...

      Something  incredible happened at 9 AM Monday morning. The 2015 PSR Camp Staff walked into the door of the Lodge and began a Journey. We went through a day of paperwork with them and got ready to start Staff Training Week. Then, in the evening, we split up into family groups where they got a chance to get to know each other. We followed that up with worship to end the night, where our staff got to sing together for the first time.

Staff sings praise songs together for the first time.

     These are largely a group of students strapped for cash, struggling to pay their way through college.  Naturally they came to camp to help pay off student loans right?

     Wrong.

      The truth is that they could make more money stuffing tacos in a Taco Bell drive thru. So how is it that we pull them away from the horrors of corporate fast food? The answer is change. Change is how nature moves, its how culture evolves and how the word of God affects you.

     Camp staff believe in change, that’s why they sacrifice their summer and financial well-being to minister to our youth.

     Camp changes minds, it changes lives and it changes hearts.  It is our hope that camp this summer will change the lives of our campers for the better. The reward we gain from that is worth far more than the wages of a fast food employee.

     The 2015 staff are all making sacrifices with their eyes on that reward. We know you appreciate their service. This message isn’t to ask for your appreciation. This message is to ask you for your prayers; prayers for the success of camp, for the health and safety of our staff and that God give them energy and patience to last the summer. Please join us in our prayers this summer.
