Love letter to camp...
Week Three: Longing for Change
This year many of our summer camping programs faced creative, spiritual and financial challenges. For many young people, camp is a significant part of their faith journey and relationships. Ministries Across Generations wanted to share importance of camp and support (financially and spiritually) the places where many people feel God's presence most.

many more. The laughter I shared at campfires, the holiness I felt at camp worships, the embarrassment during ECOY introductions, and the love of God touching down on earth. Camp taught me what it meant to embrace vulnerability and open myself up to people. Camp taught me what it means to be loved fully and to love others the way God intended. Camp taught me what it means to be community - to feel safe, supported and cared for by every single person around you. Camp taught me how to be a leader and embrace my confidence to lead others. Camp showed me that it is okay to show others who I truly am.
Scripture Week Three: (From InsideOut, This is Our Prayer)
Numbers 27:1–11
Zelophehad was from the Manasseh tribe, and he had five daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
One day his daughters went to the sacred tent, where they met with Moses, Eleazar, and some other leaders of Israel, as well as a large crowd of Israelites. The young women said: You know that our father died in the desert. But it was for something he did wrong, not for joining with Korah in rebelling against the Lord. Our father left no sons to carry on his family name. But why should his name die out for that reason? Give us some land like the rest of his relatives in our clan, so our father’s name can live on.

Letter to La Foret❤️🌲:
I love camp. It made me who I am, surrounded me with supporting and loving people, and taught me so much. The memories from camp I will cherish forever. Playing spoons in Pondo, dancing to star trekkin at the frolic, tears shed at senior yet, and so

Moses asked the Lord what should be done, and the Lord answered: Zelophehad’s daughters are right. They should each be given part of the land their father would have received. Tell the Israelites that when a man dies without a son, his daughter will inherit his land. If he has no daughter, his brothers will inherit the land. But if he has no brothers, his father’s brothers will inherit the land. And if his father has no brothers, the land must be given to his nearest relative in the clan. This is my law, and the Israelites must obey it.
