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:
"Thank you!! I'm so very grateful for all that you've done and continue to do for our family!! The kids come back so full of laughter and love and the things they learn about Jesus are rooted deep in their hearts and minds!! I pray that the Lord will continue to bless you all as you are such a blessing to our family as well as so many others!"
"I wanted to thank you for all you do for NLR. I grew up going to New Life Ranch. My first summer was, I think, 1998. I wasn’t raised in a Christian home, and camp was my favorite week each year. It was where I learned to read the bible and see what Christians are like. I was a counselor in 2008, and I was able to share my testimony for the first time. It brought a lot of healing to be able to share my story. Anyway, I just wanted to encourage you that what you do for the camp changes kids’ lives, changes their legacies, and makes an eternal impact. I’m praying for you both today!"
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:
- At Flint Valley - cabin unity and healthy, Christ-centered friendships.
- At Frontier Cove - 30 families attending our first ever family camp at this site.
- 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 Frontier Cove.
- 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 have $49,000 left to raise—a significant need, but we serve an even bigger God.
