3.7 A safe haven indeed.

As you are hopefully aware, the name of the camp where I'm working is Haven on the Rock. A name that was chosen a few years ago as two mighty legacies merged into camp as we know it today. When that name was chosen it resonated with many of us on the board as something that we all recognized or remembered camp being. A safe place, a shelter, a haven.

We have always intended our camp to be a safe place for kids and staff to come together and learn more about Jesus and how He intends this ministry to develop. And it should come as no surprise that once we did so that God ordained broken, hurting, people to be drawn here. I was one of those people even before the name happened and I know I wouldn't be the man I am today without this place. And the healing that can happen in a place like this is nothing short of incredible.

So... Please remember the crew that works incredibly hard to make camp the best it can possibly be. We are committed to making this a safe haven for every child that comes out. And many of us need it too. Pray for an abundance of grace and peace as we move forward into the main stretch of camp and that we're overwhelmed with His presence and love.

And at the risk of leaving it super abstract... I will. Goodnight!

Would that we ALL would ALWAYS be "overwhelmed with His presence and love". Praying for you all…
