Stories from the Pandemic: New Ministry Models

We were supposed to pilot our two person team program during the summer of 2020. However, that did not happen. But, this past year gave us a glimpse at our new two-person (sports camp) team model. Traditionally, we have sent four or five coaches to a church. By sending two coaches, our goal is to create more of a training atmosphere where the local congregation can dive into the authentic ministry opportunity and take more leadership at the camp itself.

We had 5 churches join us in this new model last year. It allowed for us to move outside of the Pacific Northwest and include some coaches who can’t give all summer, but can give a week.

We are excited because out of all 5 camps, they are working with us again this year in some capacity. Some are having two people come in again. Others are just using our materials as their church now feels equipped to run camp on their own! We also have a number of coaches that are returning and excited to keep working with churches.

One of the coaches, Brent uses his time off in order to serve churches. What a blessing to get to work with people who care so passionately about the building of local churches!
