IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE ANNOUNCE THAT ALL CAMPS HAVE BEEN CANCELED FOR THIS SUMMER. WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER KINGS CAMP BECAUSE OF THE FACILITY WE RENT MAKING THAT DECISION FOR US. WE HAVE DECIDED IN THE BEST INTEREST OF EVERYONE NOT TO HOLD OUR KIDDIE DAY KAMP AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DAY CAMP HERE AT OUR HEADQUARTERS EITHER. HOWEVER…
WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO REACH CHILDREN THIS SUMMER WITH THE PRECIOUS GOSPEL AND SHOW THEM THAT JESUS LOVES THEM — AND SO DO WE — IN A TANGIBLE WAY!

“CAMP IN A BAG” OPEN-AIR BUS MINISTRY AND ONLINE SUMMER CLUB WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER, BEGINNING THE END OF JUNE.

WE WILL BE TRAVELING FROM PLACE TO PLACE, PARKING THE NEW MINISTRY BUS IN CHURCH PARKING LOTS, AT COMMUNITY BUILDINGS, AT LOCAL PARKS, AND AT HOUSING PROJECTS. WHILE THERE, WE WILL PRESENT A 5-MINUTE GOSPEL OBJECT LESSON FOR THE CHILDREN (AGES 4-12) AND THEN HAND OUT “CAMP IN A BAG.” EVERY CHILD WILL RECEIVE ONE BAG FILLED WITH FOOD ITEMS FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILY, AS WELL AS A SPECIAL AGE-APPROPRIATE DEVOTIONAL FOR THE STUDY OF GOD’S WORD. IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL INVITATION TO JOIN US ONLINE DURING ANY ONE WEEK OF THE SUMMER TO PARTICIPATE IN A PRE-RECORDED INTERACTIVE CLUB FORMAT. BY COMPLETING THE ACTIVITIES THAT GO WITH EACH LESSON, THE CHILDREN WILL NOT ONLY LEARN ABOUT KNOWING JESUS AND FOLLOWING JESUS, BUT THEY WILL ALSO RECEIVE A REWARD FOR THEIR EFFORTS.

IF YOU ARE A CHURCH LEADER, HAVE CONTACT WITH A LOCAL COMMUNITY BUILDING, OR KNOW OF A HOUSING PROJECT OR OTHER LOCATION WE CAN SCHEDULE FOR ABOUT ONE HOUR DURING ANY DAY THIS SUMMER — JUST ONE DAY, PLEASE CONTACT JOHN OR GAYLE. 724-223-0855 OR 724-561-9298

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING THIS EFFORT, EACH “CAMP IN A BAG” FILLED TO THE RIM BACKPACK COSTS APPROXIMATELY $22.00. YOU CAN SPONSOR ONE OR MORE BACKPACKS.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN GETTING THE GOSPEL TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS THIS SUMMER. THERE MAY STILL BE SOME QUARANTINE GUIDELINES, BUT GOD’S WORD CAN NEVER BE PUT IN QUARANTINE!
