Today I was asked to explain my philosophy of camping to an applicant for summer staff.
It is basically this. I focus on the staff as a community of faith not as a camp staff. We are gathered to glorify God and edify the body. Discipling and being discipled is the key. Sharing stories to see the various views of Jesus Christ. The more that we share our stories, the bigger Christ becomes. He is multi-faceted, each story reveals a different facet of God Christ. Just as there are many members of the body, there are many facets. It takes diversity to see the whole. The gestalt if you will.
Then ministry spills out of the community and onto the camper. When we aren't intentional about the community and believe that community happens by default, make a mistake.
From the road... Good night
