JV Kids' Camp 2007

Caleb, Becca, Katka, Nina, Christina; Kelsey, Emili, Kylie

This may require a little explanation. Every year the fabulous Becca (above, with the white gold hair) puts on a camp just for the children of Josiah Venture missionaries, where they can be together and grow in their relationship with the Lord and have fun. You may think, like I did initially, "Oh, that's nice"--because it is nice, and also because you, like me, may not totally understand that it's way more than nice, it's necessary for these kids. They lead unusual lives, growing up in a culture that's not their parents': they're not typical Americans, but they're also not native to whatever country they live in. They have their own culture, and as such they really need each other--and Becca. Becca's ministry is to the children of Josiah Venture--from the babies to the teenagers--and she does an amazing job of caring for these guys. And she puts on one sweet camp.


The Journey group: Hannah E., Corey A. and Tyler P. After each of Andrea Pitcher's masterful teachings on prayer (the theme of the camp), I got together with Journey and we applied what had been taught. It was great being able to experience the hearts these three have for the Lord and I was blessed to get to know them better.


Singing and dancing by the sea...each night the Journey group led the worship and the program for the camp.
