A Word from the Executive Director
Summer is a great time to be in outdoor ministry in Michigan!
I travel the state visiting camps and connecting with the people we are here to serve. While much of my time is spent solving the problems of everyday life (I’ve spent more time at banks solving technical glitches than I would have liked), the best part of my job is seeing the children and adults at camp.
It makes may heart leap for joy when I sit at a closing program at camp and hear the campers sing camp songs and recite scripture from memory. As I sat at Lake Michigan Camp and heard the Dean recount what the children learned each day in camp, the children spontaneously burst into song and together recited scriptures. At the end I heard campers telling their parents how much this week of camp meant to them, and asking to come back. The children experienced the love of Christ, and their lives were touched … changed. I could feel the vibrancy and hear the excitement in their voices. God was at work! Praise God!
I want to thank all our deans, volunteers and staff for their hard work! Please take a minute to read more “God Moments” from our staff, volunteers and campers this summer.
Rev. George Ayoub,
Executive Director
Michigan Area United Methodist Camping
