Hey Friends and Partners,
It's hard to believe we've reached Week 6 and that Summer Camp 2026 is already beginning to wind down. Week after week, we have watched God faithfully work in the lives of campers as we continue our mission of proclaiming the Gospel and equipping believers for ministry.
Thank you for faithfully praying with us each week. Your partnership truly makes an eternal difference. And a special thank you to Ella and Finley for taking a quick break from camp to help with this week's reporting!
This week across New Life Ranch, we have:
- Day Camp (Flint Valley) – 91 campers
- Junior Camp – 269 campers
- Senior Camp – 284 campers
- Nehi – 72 students
- Tim Team – 46 students
- Soma – 47 students
- Summer Staff – 218 incredible staff members serving all summer long
Camp Is Making an Eternal Difference
One of our favorite parts of each summer is hearing how God continues to work long after campers return home. Here are just a few comments we've received from parents:
"She has been singing worship songs since she returned. She also kept a journal while she was at camp and is continuing it. She memorized many Bible verses too."
"He is calm, more balanced and focused, kinder, and says he grew in his personal relationship with Christ."
"She has been doing her Bible study each morning and has shared numerous things she learned."
"She started an Instagram page with Bible verses and has written a couple of songs."
"New Life Ranch is always the best week of the year for our girls. The friends they meet, the opportunities to get outside of their comfort zones, and the new ways they encounter God are more meaningful than we can express."
Stories like these remind us that camp is about far more than a week away from home - it's about lives being transformed by Jesus Christ.
Please Pray With Us This Week
Please join us in praying for:
- Cabin unity and healthy, Christ-centered friendships.
- The Gospel to be clearly proclaimed, understood, and received.
- Believers to be encouraged and equipped to grow in their faith.
- Safety for every camper and staff member.
- Our Tim Team students as they lead Day Camp at Flint Valley.
- Wisdom, discernment, and endurance for counselors as they minister to campers.
- Peace, comfort, healing, and a stinking fun week of camp for every camper—especially those walking through difficult situations at home.
- Strength, endurance, and spiritual health for our staff as they finish the summer well, and for smooth transitions as many prepare for whatever God has next.
Mission 19:14 Camper Scholarship Fund
Please continue praying that we reach our goal by July 31, 2026, to fully fund camper scholarships for this summer. We still have approximately $65,000 left to raise—a significant need, but we serve an even bigger God.
If you feel led to help send a child to camp, you can give here:

Thank you again for your faithful partnership through prayer, generosity, and encouragement. Because of friends like you, lives are being changed this very week as campers hear the Gospel, grow in their faith, and experience the love of Christ.
