\"DSC03986\"<\/a>Last week I volunteered for the\u00a0second annual Camp Hope for Kids, \u00a0July 23-26, 2014, at Shoal Creek Camp near Subiaco, AR. The camp for at risk kids is a ministry of City Christian Fellowship, Fort Smith, AR, with help from Jubilee Christian Center in Van Buren, AR and other area churches providing volunteer staff and assistance. This year 60 children, ages 5-13, attended, more than twice as many as last year, along with about 40 adult staff. \"DSC03057\"<\/a>Camp Hope provides kids a safe place to enjoy the outdoors, camp activities, fellowship with other kids their age, and an opportunity to hear the message of Christ through the teaching of Bible stories and worship.<\/p>\n

This on-going ministry meeting the first three Sundays of each month is welcoming volunteer help transporting Hope Kids in the afternoon and early evening to and from the church, or help in other\u00a0ways. If you’d like to help or serve kids, the next generation, contact me from the contact page and let’s discuss it.\"DSCN1799\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were amazing activities and instruction provided for the kids by a giving, loving volunteer staff. May the seeds planted grow in these young lives, and may the Lord bless and keep them all, as they continue to grow in some pretty tough places<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,<\/span>Until I declare Your strength to this generation,<\/span>Your power to all who are to come.<\/span>\u201d (Psalm 71:18<\/span>)<\/p>\n
