This summer I will be working with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) as a sojourner missionary. Sojourner missions is a program for Junior and senors in High School and Freshmen and Sophomores in college. You are given the opportunity to go on summer mission trips to almost anywhere in the United States for two to ten weeks. There are opportunities for many different kinds of ministry from Creative Arts to VBS.
I will be going to Eagles' Wing Youth Ranch in Mountainair, New Mexico. I will be working as a camp counselor at their summer camps. The kids I will be serving will be 10 to 13 years old most of which will come from underprivileged homes. They are able to go there for free because of donations from different churches and sponsors. We will teach the kids how to do things like ride and groom a horse and to shoot archery and lasso a (unmoving) cow. We will have recreational sports like low and high ropes and swimming. Most importantly they will all hear of the love of Christ and about His saving grace.
I will be leaving on May 23 and I will return ten weeks later on August 1, the longest I have ever been away from home at once (pray for my Dad!). I plan to use this blog to update everyone about what is going on there. Sadly, I will not be able to log on here myself, but I will be e-mailing my blogs to my Dad who will be posting them for me. Please pray for me!
God Bless!
