Leaving

Alright humans... followers of my blog... friends....
I have news.
Great and marvelous news.
I am leaving.
Going back to camp.
I will be leaving for missions fest on the 7th of January and I wont be returning.
I will be at Camp Homewood on Quadra Island till I become a man... or till I feel I have served God enough to get into heaven. Kidding.
I will be there for a few months, probably until September.
I am excited which means you should be excited for me! :)
Please pray for me and think of me often!

And say "That Josh character... he was cool.... why isn't he here? Oh... because he is doing something with his life...right... ya... too bad he waisted his life helping people and not himself."
K... say that!

I will still be updating my blog ever soo often... soo... keep watching.
I might even find a fancy name for it, like all you cool bloggers out there.
something cool like... "Causality In Question"... or "A Didactive Delirium" or "Reading Between The Lines"... all very ....scene ...blog names :P
I am not smart enough for those kind of names.... I don't even know what Didactive or Causality even mean... well I do now because I just Wiki'd them.
maybe something like "Acabo de excrementar mis pantalones" suits my style more.

Well... I will see you all in the near future maybe. But till then.
Happy New Year! Live sweet lives!

Who I am

Hello, my name is Joshua Geddert. I am the Assistant Program Director at a Christian children's camp called Camp Homewood, located on Quadra Island. Our goal at Homewood is to "...present the Love of God and the claims of Christ..." In case you're wondering, yes, we do operate year round. Our way about camp just changes a little bit in the winter months. In the summer we're an exceptional Summer Camp... and we have Sailboats, Horses, the ocean, and a freshwater lake.

I was born in Kelowna BC, but I grew up in Kamloops BC. Born into the best Christian family possible, I was raised as a pastors kid and now a missionaries son. I have been working in camp ministry since I moved out at 17. I truly believe God has called me to this place right now and i'm going to use the talents He gave me to effect the kids and parents that come to Homewood. By His strength and might, I will give my all to glorify His name.

How You Can Support Me

First off you can support me through your prayers. At Homewood there a lot of needs. The need for staff during the year, the need for campers, the need for staff who are willing and unafraid to talk to campers about God, and the need for campers who are willing to open up. Staff unity. Safety. Health. Growth... the list goes on.

Secondly. You can support us(Homewood and Myself) financially. Of course I was going to bring it up. Let's be honest, a lot of the large scale stuff going on at Homewood involves money. Where does that come from? Donators and tithe givers like you and me! Search your heart! Ask God! If God wants you to give then do it, and do it with a cheerful heart.

Here are ways you can give...
You can give a one time donation to Camp Homewood or directly to myself. Send a check in the mail.
Camp Homewood, Box 40, Heriot Bay, BC, Canada. V0P 1H0

I challenge you to setup Pre-Authorized payments. It's the easiest. Contact us at the same address or by email or phone. We will send you the forms for automatic withdrawal. We will give you a receipt for tax purposes
camp@homewood.bc.ca or (250)285-3483

You can also go through canadahelps.org (they can tax receipt you immediately)

I can only hope and pray that you pray about this! God is with you!
