This is such a special place for our family and church to serve people with special needs. Camp Barnabas really affected Austin in desiring a sacrificial servant heart like Christ. I had the privilege of being a Cabin Mom and helping support the missionary kids and campers. I have been told the missionaries like me because I have good snacks all the time. I have loved also serving along our church staff and other adult volunteers who choose to give this week to serve both campers and often their own small group kids. (Shout out to Lauren and Holly!- Sam’s leaders) Sophie Schott was my co-lead in 2018 which has been the sweetest bond.
Sam and Charlie have had the gift of helping one on one with their campers to ensure their safety, encouragement, fun, and remind them how much God sees and loves them! They were rock stars and loved the relationships with their campers! David has come to visit each camp as well and loves to visit with the campers! Even our nephews, Jack and Christopher, have come as camper and missionary! Covid did bar the camp from happening in 2020 but we are hopeful for the return in 2021! “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalms 139:14. Celebrating the value and dignity of all people!
