To the WBC Family,
As you will have heard during our Sunday service, it’s the time of year again when our friends in Ecuador are preparing to run camp programs for Kids & Youth! We are not able to send a team down this year, but we can still help make camp happen by supporting them financially.
We are aiming to raise $6500 to fund a week of camp. Any surplus funds will go towards much needed repairs to several buildings. For details on these projects please click HERE.
How can I Give?
There are 2 methods available to donate toward the camp:
Donate through WBC – using your regular giving method (offering envelope or online) – make sure to note that your donation is for the “Ecuador Camp”.
Donate through MSC Canada – MSC is a 3rd party whose role is to ensure missionaries and ministries around the world can receive funds from donors like us. You can submit an online donation via this link.
Charitable receipts are available via either method.
Read below for more about the camp.
How is WBC involved with Faro de Esperanza?
While a number from WBC have spent time at the camp or at the school in Bastion, in addition, our very own Raul and Jessenia live in Guayaquil and are heavily involved in the ministry there! We are one of several Canadian and US churches that have partnered with the camp over the years to help support them both in prayer and financially.
What makes camp special?
For anyone who grew up at camp, you’ve likely got memories that have stuck with you over the years. Camp is an opportunity for kids to come together in a safe place and experience God’s love through the care of their camp counsellors and other volunteers. They play games, sing songs, learn Bible lessons, do crafts, and have time just to be kids. Have a listen to this video from two former campers who are now counsellors at the camp. They share from their first-hand experience why camp is so special. Click HERE to watch the short video.
