Entering the Season of Thankfulness
Upcoming Events this November!
Welcome to the month of Thanksgiving! We are grateful for the stunning fall colors, God’s unwavering faithfulness, and the fruitful year of ministry that has enriched us. As the leaves fall from the trees and create more work in our yards, we remain committed to our efforts at Inspiration Hills as we prepare for the winter ahead.
MINISTRY NEWS:
Staff Development
In the past month, our staff has engaged in a variety of development opportunities.
- We participated in an impactful Suicide Prevention training in Sioux Falls, equipping our team with those essential skills.
- We also held a Summer Camp debriefing session to reflect on our experiences and learn from the recent camp season. For a detailed overview of our summer by the numbers, be sure to check out the graphic below!
- Our team also had the chance to connect with fellow camp professionals at a conference for Iowa and Nebraska camps. It was a truly enriching experience to share insights and witness how God is at work in camp ministry across the region.
Year-end giving!
We have an exciting opportunity to double the impact of your generosity; every contribution is matched by a generous $70,000 gift.
Your ministry's support can make a real difference in many lives. Scholarships help ensure that all children, regardless of their financial situation, can attend summer camp and retreats.
