Camp Sponsorships needed!

"Did you know that Jesus died on the cross for ME?" Dearis asked on our way home from camp last summer.  It was the first time Dearis had gone to camp with Urban Family Ministries.

Last month, two Urban Family kids were baptized that accepted Christ at camp.  Shamar shared his testimony during the baptismal service of how he asked Jesus into his heart at camp.

A teacher at one of the urban schools we work with asked me if we were looking for sponsorships for camp this summer again.  She wanted the information regarding sponsorships as she hears all year long about the experiences the kids have and are connecting those with their classroom work.

It doesn’t take long to realize the impact our camp sponsorships have on the children.  Last summer, we received 119 sponsorships to send kids to camp. What an unbelieveable blessing.

The sponsorships received cover directly the kids’ costs to go to camp.  This year, the cost will be $155.00 per student and even though times are tough, our hope is to secure 150 sponsorships.  If you’d like to help sponsor a child for camp, you can do so by going to www.urbanfamilyministries.org/donate.php and fill out the form online.  Make sure you type in the word “Camp” in the “Special Donation” field.

As your sponsorship is received, we will send a picture of your matched child(ren) as a reminder to pray for them through out the summer and specifically for the week they are at camp.  After returning from camp, we will do our best to send you a thank you letter from your individual child.

Thank you so much for considering sponsoring a child.  You’ll be blessing one of the children we serve, and in so doing you too will be blessed.

Sincerely,

Noelle Gable

Camp Coordinator
