Hello friends and family!! Just a quick drop in here!! I am going out to Woodsman Camp today for 8 days of awesome CIT camp. The Summer has officially begun!

I can't wait for the fun times I will have with my CIT boys. Please pray for us as we learn and grow together.

I could also use prayer... I got a little owwey on my foot. Playing soccer the other day I slid for a ball and ended up with a foot under a chain link fence... sliced my heel open pretty good! It was definitely it need of some stitches but because of where it was and the amount of dead skin on feet... they probly wouldn't have stitched it. And besides... who wants stitches when you're going out into the bush for 8 days... not me. :) I am walking on it and it's bandaged but the blood kinda seeped through. Please pray.

All of our staff are here at camp now! Praise the Lord. It took way too long.

I love you all!!

Talk to you again in 8 days!!

-Josh

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!
