Every summer for over 35 years I have been privileged to work with teens and young adults. In fact, it is my life’s mission. I get to see SALTers and staff when they are young and help lead them to be the next generation of Christian leaders. Very often I see great potential in them.Continue reading “When I Predicted the Future”

Is This is the Moment?
“Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created…” Esther 4:14 Aloha! My name is Kyra, and I am excited to begin my first season at Camp Widjiitiwin as the Camp Admin for the summer and “intern” for the following eight months, whatever that means to Moose! I, like many other people, haveContinue reading “Is This is the Moment?”
MBC Compass Spring 2017: Widji News
Transformed youth! This is the desired result of our mission to be ambassadors for Christ to children and youth. What does that look like?

They Call Me Moose
I have been called Moose since I was 16 and was first on summer staff at Camp Ambassador, outside Owen Sound, now the site of Word of Life Camp. Many camps have a tradition of assigning staff camp names. That summer each new staff was named for an Archie comics character. Yes, I got theContinue reading “They Call Me Moose”
Shag came to pray for Widji
Sometimes you learn things that are very cool. I always like it when someone comes up and says they have been praying for me. This story is like that.

Camp is Run by Youth
Camp Widjiitiwin is run by youth! It’s plain enough if you sit and watch them. I did this one night back in the summer before dinner while sitting on the fireplace. I was smiling. I was very happy with my staff this summer. They’re did a great job!!! You should see them go. They all do their jobsContinue reading “Camp is Run by Youth”

Campers Teaching Staff
When coming to camp this year, I wondered how God would use me in camper’s lives as we ministered as a team to the hundreds of campers that would come to camp this summer. Now that our team is halfway through the summer, I truly wonder how much I impacted campers throughout my three yearsContinue reading “Campers Teaching Staff”
I See a Generation Rising
I have taken this title from a line in the popular song by Brook Fraser called, “Hosanna”. It has been my privilege over these last many years to work with amazing young Christian teens and adults who are living their lives for Christ. Every summer they come to camp as dish washers, service staff, cabinContinue reading “I See a Generation Rising”
