The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.

Jeremiah 31:3

Sweet Start to Summer!

By Kevin Bonnar

June has brought on our busiest parts of camp season as we hit the road and bring the Gospel to so many parts of the country! We started the month off in the beautiful small town of Ontario, WI were Kicking Bear partners with Grace Community Church and is blessed to have a camp right in the heart of downtown. Then the wonderful crew at 4 Points Kicking Bear in Pampa, TX brought the country crowd out for some fun and Jesus in the Texas panhandle, for over a decade this camp has changed folks lives and also had a huge impact on the community. Over in Minnesota our friends at Whitetail Habitat Solutions hosted a fundraising event with families from all over the country in attendance, we are so thankful for the support from WHS and how they help fuel the mission of the ministry. Then Ray and Krysta traveled up to Michigan to team up with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to help with their newly added outdoor sports ministry, while there they had the chance to disciple hundreds of teenage athletes. Locally here in Wisconsin we teamed up with Safe Families for Children of Western Wisconsin and Awaken Church for a Family Night, our ministries here share the same mission of helping families through all parts of life and connecting folks all in the name of Jesus. We cruised down I-90 a bit and put on a sweet little adventure night at Rochester Archery Club in Minnesota and then closed out the month in Northern Minnesota with friends from Newfolden Evangelical Free Church in Karlstad for a brand new camp. At both of these events we witnessed God put up a hedge of protection from storms so we could share the Gospel and have fun safely, answered prayers in the mission field are so inspiring.
