Cheif’s Corner
As I was cleaning out my truck, I came across some photos from 1998 of several retreats we had taken with the kids in Christian Adventurers. Now, almost all of them have families of their own. Time seems to stand still when I look at all those faces and remember what a great time that was. God has allowed me the honor to minister to and invest time in the lives of children, teens, and now adults over the last 41 years. The Lord always knows best and has been pointing me in a direction that some really don’t understand. Tow people over the last month have asked me if I still work with Christian Adventurers! I have taken a position of cutting back my hours some. But, the reports of my full retirement have been greatly exaggerated! I am still “All In” with the mission and work of Christian Adventurers. I’m just trying to spend more time with my family. I heard a person say, “No amount of money could ever buy a second of time”. How true that is! Ministry is a difficult job. Ministers spend a great deal of their time trying to meet the needs of those under their care while their family gets what is left over. Mark and I both have been burning the candle at both ends and are in need of someone with fresh legs to work with us. Beginning September 1st, we will have an intern working with us! We are stepping out on faith that God will provide all the funds we need and more as we take this step in what we feel is the right direction! We still keep our vision alive of one day having our own gym facility. The drawings show depict what our building will look like. I am always praying for The Lord to bless us with this building. In the meantime, we are resuming our search for a building to least that offers offices and activity space for some of our programs.
I need to raise some funds to help with the intern we’ll be adding in September. He will be raising support as well. As a result, we are sponsoring a Mini Golf tournament at the Putt-Putt Fun Center on September 27 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. We’re calling it the “Battle in Burlington”. I am asking people and businesses to sponsor in the following ways:
Diamond Tournament Sponsor- $500
Gold Hole Sponsor- $200
Silver Hole Sponsor- $100
Bronze Hole Sponsor- $50
It’s going to be a great night of fun. I’m expecting a big turnout. This tournament is for all ages and skillsets- Novice, Amateur, and Professional. Details will be on the Christian Adventurers Facebook page and on our website caministries.com this week. If you want to know more about how to enter the tournament or details on being a sponsor, email me at creecht21@aol.com or call 336-212-0194.
