Serve
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Romans 12:11
May Mission Spotlight: Youth Summer Camp! We believe in the power of a great Christian summer camp. Over and over again we've witnessed Jesus move in the hearts and minds of kids during camp. Sometimes it is a first time meeting and other camp experiences deepen a child's existing relationship with their Lord and Savior. Our spotlight is on two great local camps: Eastern Iowa Bible Camp and Summer Games University. Who can you invite to camp this summer?
5.13 Camp Work Day Eastern Iowa Bible Camp is hosting a spring clean up day on May 13. Join the efforts as they prepare for kids to meet Jesus—connect with Mathew Grimm for more info!
