ANNOUNCING GRANTS AWARDED TO ABC-IN/KY
Each summer, the American Baptist Churches of Indiana andKentucky(ABC/IN-KY) ministers to hundreds of youth through its camping ministry, offering an extensive program of spiritual, physical and social education. Through a grant from the American Baptist Foundation, Region Camps, which serve both ABC/IN-KY and ABC/GI will offer a “Missionary Youth in Residence” program beginning in 2012. By providing the opportunity to live and interact with persons of their own age who live as missionaries, campers will enhance their understanding of and appreciation for American Baptist mission work.
The Missionary Youth in Residence program will be designed to encourage campers to consider their own call to ministry and mission. With missionary youth residing at our camps for the duration of the summer, campers ages six to young adult will have opportunities for formal and informal interaction. The missionary youth will interpret the life and service of missionaries to campers. As a result of this program, we anticipate a growing number of youth who discern and respond to a call to ministry and mission.
