I was so grateful for my experience with virtual Impact last summer and I loved it so much that I am back again this summer! I cannot wait to be able to see people (in person instead of through a computer screen!!) and be able to share and learn about the word of God through mission work. I have never attended Impact in person before, so I am sure this will be yet another amazing experience! I will be so happy to see everyone’s faces and get to know everyone more through our walk with Christ.
Last summer I was so excited to be in person when Covid-19 hit and changed our original plans of being in person with you all. Since I had never been to Impact as a camper or staff member, I was pretty disappointed about not being in person. However, God proved that even in those challenging times, we still found ways to interact with campers and spread His word whether it was through daily devotionals on Instagram and Facebook, or through our many TikToks we created over the summer. Our theme last year was Better Together and these challenging times of being in quarantine has definitely made me realize that being together is so important in doing God’s work. I am excited about our new theme this year which is “RE:Created.” I believe this is a great way to think of how our time during this past year has allowed us to realize that God has been using this time to refresh our minds and renew our spirits to better serve Him.
I am truly blessed to be able to participate in Impact again this summer and I am even more blessed to be able to share my personal walk with Christ with you all. This pandemic has changed all of our lives and I am so incredibly thankful that we are working diligently to be able to provide a camp in person that is safe and enjoyable for everyone. Being able participate at
Impact is truly a blessing and I am so excited to meet everyone and continue our journey with Christ together!
