Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make camp fantastic once again. | | OUTREACH and MISSION OPPORTUNITIES | Mission Encouragement Check out this link sent in by Carl Landis, Women of the Word, for some inspiring stories and helpful information. (Thanks, Carl!) "Wycliffe Women of the Word is an initiative designed to connect women to Scripture, allowing them to recognize their God-given value as women and the role they play in his mission. When women are affirmed and encouraged by the truth that God has created them to fulfill a specific role in his kingdom, they are better equipped to reach others with the power of Scripture — in their families, communities and around the world." This resource is a project of Wycliffe Bible Translators, of which Adam and Bonnie Shank are a part. | Coat & Clothing Drive Ongoing Outreach/Mission Opportunity
