We are so very thankful for your support and partnership. We simply could not do God’s work here without the contribution of your time, talents, and treasure! It really is such a blessing to have you working right alongside us as we reach young people and families with the Good News of Jesus Christ! Our vision is to double the outreach of our ministry and programs over the coming years. With God’s blessing, we believe we will have the opportunity to serve 50,000 campers and guests in the not-too-distant future. This is a leap of faith to be sure. But we have a Big God and enjoy a wonderful legacy of committed volunteers, partners, and givers like you. Together we can impact thousands more in the coming years! Your investment in the ministry here is more than just maintaining, repairing, and building new facilities. Your partnership also strengthens and expands our direct outreach programs to kids and families. You are making a difference in the lives of the many people who will experience “Life Change” in Christ when they attend camps and conferences here. Thanks again for your prayers, partnership, and support. Dear Friends and Family, Ephesians 5:8-9 “For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.” We are very excited about this year’s theme “Light.” In our theme verse in Ephesians, Paul encourages us to turn away from the way we used to live, to put off the old self, and to live as ones who are set apart from the world. We are to be a light to those around us who are still living in darkness. At Lake Geneva Youth Camp it is our mission this summer to use this theme to encourage our campers to respond to Jesus’ call and to live as people of light! Our Day Camps, Classic Camps, and Adventure Camps are underway and we are excited to be able to share the love of Christ with the thousands of campers, families, and retreat guests who will come to our property over the next few months. Thank you for your continued support and investment in our life-changing ministry. Please read on to find out how camp is impacting lives and how you can get involved through becoming a monthly giving partner. God gave our youth group a passion for worship that I have not seen in years - so much so that they kept requesting songs at the campfire until I told them it was time to go to sleep! -Youth Leader God's presence is so evident from the moment we arrive at LGYC until our departure. Even in some of the difficult times for our ladies, His Spirit attends and ministers. We are so grateful for all of you and for your work for Him. -Retreat Leader Ross Adams James McLennan Executive Director Board Chairman On Saturday night I invited students who wanted to know more of God in their lives to come forward for prayer, and around 40 came to the front, which was very encouraging. -Jr. High Leader www.conference-point.org www.lgyc.org LAKE GENEVA FOUNDATION W2655 South Street | Lake Geneva, WI 53147 1 2 REAL-WORLD IMPACT: 3 4 PRAY & SERVE 4 LAKE GENEVA YOUTH CAMP & CONFERENCE CENTER 262.248.5500 www.lgyc.org CONFERENCE POINT CENTER 262.245.5155 www.conference-point.org A place set apart...
