DALE COUNTY GIDEONS
MONTHLY CAMP LETTER
April 2015 Camp Letter
This meeting marks the last of our
educational and informational programs for this Gideon year (1 June-31 May each
year) and serves to point us in the direction of the realization of the goals
of "Vision 2020". This month's
program will reinforce the key messages shared over the past four video-based
educational sessions. This concluding
video focuses on the need to Live By Faith, Invest Our Talents, Be A Servant,
and Give Our Best...All To Reach The Lost For Christ. In this final educational program for the
2014-15 GIdeon year, we are reminded of our four goals to be fulfilled as we
quickly move toward the challenge of Vision 2020:
1. Distributing 120 million scriptures annually
(Living By Faith)
2. Involving 100% of our members in the ministry
(Investing Our Talents)
3. Developing intentional relationships with all
churches (Being A Servant)
4. Fostering a "culture of excellence"
in all we do (Giving my best)
Ultimately, we try to accomplish a
single goal: Reaching The Lost for
Christ.
How we go about accomplishing
these important goals is what our Camp needs to be about. We need to
continue to be faithful in our membership, give generously to the Faith
Fund, actively support the Gideon Bible Card program, seek out and participate
in scripture and Bible distributions, be determined in securing Gideon church
services, and maintaining a strong, active Auxiliary. We are blessed with caring and
Christ-centered members in our camp.
This year our camp did not lose one member due to non-renewal of dues,
we have gained 13 new members in our camp, and we have completed a Camp
Development Plan that has helped to keep us collectively focused on our
singular mission of scripture distribution to the lost for Christ.
Please be reminded that our camp
meeting this month will be this Thursday, April 9, at 6:30 PM, in the
Fellowship Hall of Ozark Baptist Church.
If you have been unable to attend in the past, this would be a great
meeting to get started back. If you need
transportation to and from the meeting, please call me or a Gideon or Auxiliary
friend for a ride. As a camp member you
make an eternal difference in getting God's Word to the lost. God bless you in your mission of outreach,
and thank you for being a Gideon/Auxiliary.
