Hello everyone,

I hope you are very well and walk with Jesus everyday! 

After a month of hard work, we're nearing the completion of our Family Camp! Up next are our QUEST Camp in September and the Teen Retreat Camp in October. So far, I'm incredibly grateful to have personally led four young people to commit their lives to Christ and to witness many campers experience life-changing spiritual growth and a deeper love for the Bible. These are truly wonderful things.

Thank you all for your prayers and continued support. I have a few important updates I'd like to share with you.

1. Matching Fund for Summer Camp Fees

First, this year we applied for a matching fund to help subsidize the summer camp fees for children. I believe you know that despite our tight budget, we not only keep our camp fees affordable but also strive to provide the best for our campers in terms of meals, equipment, and camp shirts. Therefore, if you feel led, please consider donating to support our continued efforts in this wonderful youth ministry. (https://www.blomidon.camp/donate)

2. Quest Camp (Ages 8-12)
Second, our September Quest Camp is hosted by One Hope Canada! This camp is designed for children ages 8-12 and is completely free, thanks to generous funding. It's a fantastic opportunity for kids to enjoy a fun-filled weekend while growing closer to God. Please help us share this with anyone who might be interested!

Camp Details:

  • Dates: September 26–28, 2025

  • Drop-off: September 26, 6:30–7:30 PM

  • Pick-up: September 28, 2:00 PM

  • Fee: Free (includes tuck)

3. Teen Retreat (Ages 13-18)

Third, our October Teen Retreat is our most popular camp each year, and spots are limited, so please pay close attention!

Camp Details:

  • Dates: October 3–5, 2025

  • Ages: 13-18 years old

Finally, this year I've been leading daily devotions for our staff meetings. My theme for the year is "The Youth of Those God Used Greatly in the Bible." My hope is not only to bless every camper but also to encourage every Camp leader and helpers to delve deeper into the Scriptures. Through a narrative literary approach to Bible study, we're examining the challenges and struggles faced by those God used during their youth. I hope to have the opportunity to share more about this with you all in the future, as a source of mutual encouragement.

 
Blessings,

Rev. Dr. Caleb Cheng
