Dear Family and Friends,
Thank you for the support and prayers you’ve provided in my life so far. I am truly blessed to have a strong, constant support through family and friends. I am also writing to invite you to be a part of the next steps in my journey with the Lord. God has opened doors of opportunity in ministry and floodgates of grace for growth in my walk with Him. My passion is definitely burning for summer camping ministry, and my heart is all for what God is doing at Jonah Ministries this year.
This month I have started preparations for the summer as the Jonah Program Intern. This includes going to colleges, churches, youth groups, and schools to recruit summer staff and campers, being an aid to summer camp directors and any program related activities, and washing dishes on the weekend for our retreat groups of 100+. (Praise God for bringing in large groups!) My prayer is that in all of this is that campers will be shown Christ’s love and that the staff this summer would grow in life-long, Christ-based relationships as they work beside each other.
In writing to you, I am asking for support for Jonah. While I am here I would like to cover the amount of what Jonah will be paying me monthly. Here is my clever solution. “20x20 vision” I believe this to be “perfect” and achievable. If 20 people could pledge twenty dollars per month this would total four hundred dollars and cover much of Jonah’s outlay to me as an intern. Is this perfect or what? Please pray about this opportunity to give to Jonah. Jonah’s website, www.campjonah.com , states the ministries history, mission statement, program, and plans. I hope this is helpful to you. Also, Jonah sends out an E-news email regularly that is informative on what is happening in all aspects of the ministry. If you would like to receive these updates please respond to me with your email address.
I will be living and working at Jonah until August of this year. I am fitting in schoolwork finishing up classes through Miles Community College online and will graduate in May with an A.S. in Business Management. In August, I will start in on classes at Multnomah Bible University in Portland. Working at Jonah is a huge opportunity to grow and build experience in camping ministry. This shows me how grand God’s provision is and His hand in where He is taking me with my passion for camp in the future. Thank you for being a part of it all!
Much Gratitude,
Kali
