Learn about Jesus

Hello,

I hope you are all doing well this winter and that you are serving and fighting for Jesus despite your circumstances. He is God and will be worshipped.

Things are going well here at Jonah. We just had a group of 80+ this last extended weekend and we had the blessing of extra help from some staffers that came up from The Dalles and Gresham. It is truly a great thing to see people willing to serve Jesus with camp.

Also, many of our staff are able to attend conferences this week. I had the great opportunity to head to Gresham last weekend to attend the Fighting with God conference featuring several top ranked UFC fighters that love Jesus and 5 great speakers: Bill Russell, Scott Knight, Ryan Dobson, Darren Patrick, and Mark Driscoll. It was great to go to a conference that was all about Jesus and fighting for Him in this life with all we do. It was also cool to see how a very popular culture for young men is being permeated by Christians and ultimately Jesus.

Many of the rest of the Jonah Staff are currently in Jefferson, Oregon attending the Great Commandment Church Seminar at Jefferson Baptist. The Conference is mainly about Prayer and it implementation in Ministry.

So the cool thing is that we, as a staff, are being given the opportunity to learn more about Jesus. He is the one we serve, He is our camp director and to learn more about Him is a great thing because, by His Grace, we can serve Him better.

I pray that you are all learning more about your King. Begin studying the Bible if you are not already. The whole Bible is about Him, so check it out. Start reading books, listening to sermons, or going to conferences about Jesus. It is very important that we study the faith we should be living. If we know nothing about what we claim to live for, how deep does it really go?

Also, we are accepting staff applications for this summer, so if you or someone you know is interested in serving Jesus this summer at camp check out the application.

Keep Jonah in your Prayers and Worship Jesus.
