MJ 1104 International Camp Staff Support

In a world of global connections, it is essential that we strive to increase our understanding of cultures different than our own. It is one way of working for world peace and it is what Jesus would have us do. Our international staff members help us to accomplish this larger goal. They are committed individuals who gain very little financially from the experience. They come because they want to see a small part of the USA and because they want to share their love of the Lord. They have a huge impact on the lives of the campers they meet. 

Judson Collins Center and Camp Kinawind have been fortunate to have a number of international staff members through the years. The 2006 Kinawind campers really enjoyed their contact with Nicky, a high energy, very upbeat young lady who was their lifeguard. She was also very observant, thoughtful, and effective when working with campers. Nicky is currently studying Youth Ministry in London. She hopes to return to Kinawind in 2007 before returning to her homeland of South Africa.

Our cost for international staff is about 50% higher than regular staff. Recruitment, program expenses, travel and related costs are significant. Your contributions are very important to support the continuation of this program.

This ministry supports the Detroit Annual Conference Vision and Strategy Statement by “providing a connectional global presence” and “overcoming prejudices which divide us.”
