Camp Crucis 2009 Calendar
Camp Crucis is offering mission camps again this year from 3rd – 12th grades. Last year's mission brought such spiritual growth to our children and the opportunity for each child to make a physical and spiritual impact on the people we ministered too that we are expanding our expeditions.
Our goal is the same as last year, to instill a sense of mission in our children. This year or older Mission Camps Sr. and Jr. High will be traveling to Alamo, New Mexico to a Navajo reservation and San Leon/Galveston Texas respectively. It has been such a challenge in planning and organizing these two trips that we know that God has something very special planned for them both. We have visited both locations and have done most of the ground work for our arrival as we continue to work with the groups of people we will be ministering too. The two younger missions will stay at camp and visit nursing homes and help with other service projects and ministries in and around Granbury and Hood County.
Please get your children signed up for Mission Camp as soon as possible. Time is running out. Our first deadline is April 15 to be a part of the whole experience. Go to www.campcrucis.org to register online and look under missions in the summer camp menu for more info. If you have questions or are interested
in volunteering as a sponsor please call 817-573-3343 or email
jbontke@campcrucis.org.
This year our theme for summer camp is "Putting on the Whole Armor of God". We will be teaching your children that it is not a battle of flesh and blood but one that drives to the core of our being. Our battle is not with our brothers and sisters in Christ, our neighbors, or even our enemies. Our battle is with the powers of darkness that creep into our hearts and the desires of this world that lead us away from God. It is through mission that our children not only get to study and understand the uses for the Armor of God but they get to use their God-given armor to bring other souls into the light of salvation.
It is when we step out of our comfort zone and onto the mission field that we really come to know Christ and desire to make him known. When we leave everything behind and go trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit we are changed. It is my desire to set our children on fire with God's love. I want them to experience what God can do through them. I don't want them crouching behind their shields of faith waiting for the Lord's return. I want them on the front lines fighting to bring as many souls as they can into the kingdom of God.
Always in Christ
