“What a life they've had with all of the commotion, all the chaos, all the heartbreak... [yet] you know God is there and that He can do that.” —Terry
Every year, 10–12 church members give a week of their summer to help out at camp. But Jim Behl wasn't invited to volunteer at Camp Hope—he was ordered to.
“Mr. Jim, are you going to camp?” asked Jonathan. “You've got to go to camp, Mr. Jim.”
Jim and Jonathan met at Growing in Grace, an after-school mentorship program Terry Brubaker, Christ Church’s Camp Hope coordinator, started five years ago.
“One year, when we were coming home from camp, I kept getting in my head this idea that we just have to have more contact with these kids,” she says. “This one week of camp is so good, and they learn so much, and they grow so much, and become closer to God. And we just need an opportunity to do this more.”
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
