Camp Pastors

Rob Ribbe--Director

This week Jonathan Cummings, pastor of Youth and Mercy Ministries
at Calvary Memorial Church in Oak Park, IL, is launching our summer Camp Pastors' program.  Jonathan is speaking each day this week on our summer
theme:  Jesus is the Center of the Story.  He started on Sunday with
a sermon entitled “Humble God, United
Church” and spoke from
Philippians 2:1-11.  In staff devotions this week we’ve looked at the humanity of
Jesus and the divinity of Jesus and how both are essential and significant for
our redemption and life.

The camp pastors program was started three years ago. Much
like the historic doctors’ program at HoneyRock, camp pastors volunteer for one
to two weeks and provide a ministry of teaching, preaching and general pastoral
care for our staff and students.  In exchange for their service, HoneyRock
provides them a cabin, meals, and a lot of family time in the great
Northwoods.  It is our hope that they and their families leave HoneyRock
refreshed.  This summer our remaining camp pastors are Mark Husbands from Michigan, Chip Edgar from South
Carolina, Rich Little from Illinois,
and Alan Hawkins from North Carolina.

You are blessed to have Jonny and his family in the Northwoods with you all. I have heard nothing but great comments about the week he and his family "pastored" there! Hope you are enjoying the cooler weather it is 88 and humid in Wheaton!

Johnny was such a blessing to our community. It was great to have him, and his family, here.

It's been cold and rainy - which is good, we need the rain!
