From the desk of the NC West District Youth President....

Dear Leader,

I wanted to write this as a thank you to anyone who has been a part of making camp happen this year. Without the support of our district and our churches we would not be able to make camp happen for over 300 students from across our district. It never ceases to amaze me the support that our district shows our student ministry.

We have just finished our second of two camps and to say that they were amazing would be the understatement of a lifetime. From salvation to callings into ministry we have seen it all and it always amazes me how God moves. I am still getting text messages, emails, and phone calls from people who are telling stories of how God is still moving.

Thank You,
Jonathan Wilkerson
