    to have 64 incredible college-aged staff
    members serving as counselors, site
    coordinators, lifeguards, naturalists,
    wranglers adventure program staff and
    health care specialists. They were
    recruited from all across the Midwest and
    beyond to serve at Carol Joy Holling
    Camp, Sullivan Hills Camp, and Day Camp
    sites across Nebraska and Kansas.
    Thanks to your generosity and the
    generosity of others, 52 members of our
    2015 Summer Ministry Team have been
    fully or partially sponsored. They have
    provided life-changing experiences for
    more than 2,200 children this summer and
    had an unforgettable edperience doing it.
    Thanks again for your differencemaking support. It is generosity like tyhis
    that helps make the ministry we share so
    successful. You are, without a doubt, a
    blessing from God!
    In His Service,

    challenges the week before. Your kindness is
    very much appreciated. Thank you!
