Mission Moment: Chapel Members Support Whitney Children with Tuition and Transportation to Attend Sandy Creek Bible Camp
|

Sandy Creek Bible Camp, in
Washington County, Texas, is located not too far
from College Station, at a drive of approximately
two and a half hours each way from Whitney.
The purpose of Sandy Creek Bible Camp is to teach
the gospel of Jesus Christ to children (and adults).
Each summer there are camp sessions where children
engage in typical summer camp activities, such as
horseback riding, softball, swimming, archery, etc.,
as well as experiencing Christian growth and
fellowship. Several of the campers we have
sponsored have accepted Jesus into their lives and
expressed an interest in baptism.
For several years, White Bluff Chapel has
provided the tuition for children who cannot otherwise afford to
attend Sandy Creek Bible Camp. Volunteers from the White Bluff
community also assist in transporting these children to and from
camp at their own expense. The children, hailing from the
Whitney area, have come to our attention through both the
Whitney Angel Tree Program and the after-school program at First
Baptist Church in Whitney. The First Baptist Church provides
tremendous support and resources in helping us send these children
to camp, and White Bluff residents, Ron Quiggins and Ann Jackson,
have worked diligently in this effort for several years.
The Chapel's budget this year for Sandy Creek
Bible Camp is $7,200, which is sufficient to send twenty-four (24)
children to camp. We should be close to reaching that number
when we send off the last group of campers on July 18, 2010.
On behalf of everyone involved with this project, which functions
under the leadership of the White Bluff Missions Committee, we thank
the members of White Bluff Chapel for the financial resources as
well as the commitment to transporting the children to and from
camp.
