June: A Note From Tracy Hipps

I love the summer because every year it begins with a trip to Kids Across America Kamps in Golden, Missouri. For the last 25 years, I have taken groups of kids from the city to camp and have seen hundreds come to a new faith in Christ as a result. This year was no different. The Lord drew 15 new kids into faith and we had many recommit their lives during the week. This year we took 3 charter buses and over 150 people, one of our largest groups! Fourteen organizations participated and many new children had the opportunity to experience this amazing camp. We were able to bless children and staff from Cornerstone Schools of AL, Restoration Academy, Aspire Movement, and Grace House and we appreciate your support for making this happen. The "I'm Third" award is the most prestigious award a camper can obtain. This award goes to the student who reflects the qualities and characteristics of Christ. This year, William Creagh from Restoration Academy, won the award and we are so proud. The gospel is our primary value here at CSM and the month of June continues to be fruitful.
