MISSION
To
introduce children and youth to Jesus Christ through
camping ministries and to engage in local evangelism
in home repair ministry, tourist hospitality
ministry, and service at locations such as Baptist
Centers, food pantries/markets, and other such
opportunities.
VALUES
-
People who do not have a faith-relationship with
Jesus Christ are our ultimate focus
- God
is at work throughout the world bringing people
to Himself. Our efforts will fit His priority
- How
we live is more important to God than what we
say
- Our
creed is Honoring God, Serving Others, Sharing
Christ
PURPOSE
- To
utilize the resources that God has placed in our
care in ways that will introduce people to Jesus
Christ
VISION
-
Everything that we do will reflect God’s
priority of drawing people to Himself through
faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. We are
most focused on relationship evangelism - like
Jesus with the woman at the well, we want to
focus on each person as an individual and find
ourselves more concerned with their needs than
our desire to "share the Gospel". We
believe that the Holy Spirit will provide ample
opportunities for us to share if our focus is as
Christ's was - on the person.
