This past weekend I went to a retreat at Wesley Woods for
High School students who have felt a call to ministry. During the weekend, we
heard about different forms of ministry and the ways different people felt
their call. I loved going this weekend. I needed the time to get away from the
stress of life. I also realized that right now God is calling me to focus on
the here and now. What I can do this summer.
I have now finalized my summer plans. This summer I will be
home for 14 days between June 3rd and July 28. I will be a counselor in
training at Camp Wesley Woods for four weeks this summer. I am very excited
about this! I will actually be at camp on my birthday this year. I have only
been to camp once as a camper but I loved (and still love) my counselor. In
addition, this summer I will be a voting member of the Holston Conference
Annual Conference. . . which means I have to sit through meetings for three days
straight and vote on stuff. I will also be attending Senior High Assembly (SHA).
SHA is a summer camp of sorts where you live on a college campus, learn more
about God, and meet other teens who are Christians.
And of course, I will be going on the mission trip to the
Bahamas. While in the Bahamas we will be working with Haitian refugees, I
believe we might be doing some home repair for them. We will also be doing a
sports camp for the kids and it will be led by Chris Canty, who happened to win
the super bowl along with his fellow teammates, the New York Giants, this year. I am
halfway to my goal for raising money. However, I still need your help. Please
prayerfully consider supporting me on my mission trip to Nassau, Bahamas.
God Bless,Rachel McCausland
