Sandy Cove and our New Intern Director



The intern crew went to Sandy Cove in late January.
Sandy Cove is a retreat ministry where the Christian Camp and Conference Association gathered for their annual meeting. It's located in east Maryland and all the camps located in the mid east coast area who belong to CCCA show up for a time of networking, encouragement, time of renewal and listening to God's voice, talking to other camps, getting new ideas for ministry, great food, and group meetings on various topics applicable to camping ministry. Sandy Cove brought us time to have some good conversations and get to know our intern group more. We had time to talk about different things and hear from God in our personal lives.

Matt Merson is our new Intern Director. Chad decided it was time to move on with his family, possibly to Tennessee - we're excited for what God has in store for him and his family. Matt has been involved at the Ranch for a few summers and knows a lot about Christian camping- we're excited to have him with us for the remainder of our time here.
Our goals for the rest of the internship:
Unity (group prayer, vulnerability)
Humility
Purposeful Time
Community Service

We'll be writing of how these go.
So far we've been cleaning together instead of splitting up. Also no ipods - instead we try to talk and hang out while we clean. We also meet for prayer every morning before we begin the day. We have started back the Thursday night Bible study and are going through the Truth Project put out by Focus on the Family- it's sweet!
