SUMMER
MISSIONS PROGRAM
What is the
need?
America's young people are one of the greatest mission
fields in the world today. Where once strong churches and strong families
were the rule, they are now the exception. Even where these support
systems are in place, drugs, alcohol, sexual promiscuity and peer pressure
seem to rule. Many feel that we are only one generation away from America
being a totally heathen nation.
Why Christian Camping? Quality Christian camping has the ability to break
through the barriers that separate our youth from Christ. Young people are
away from the pressures of life in an ungodly world; they hear the Word of
God in a clear consistent way and see real Christianity lived before them
in life situations by a dedicated staff.
Why As A Missionary?
Since its beginning in 1978, TER has functioned as a
home missionary work. It is not underwritten by any denomination or group
of churches. The fees cover less than half of the cost of camp. And as
the area cannot afford higher fees, we must trust the Lord to supply for
the rest of the expenses.
How Do Finances Work? Each staff member is encouraged to raise $2500 for
his summer ministry. All monies that are given are fully tax-deductible.
The $2500 is a goal. Your "take home" is what actually
comes in for you. The more that comes in, the more you receive. We
guarantee at least $1,000 ($100 per week for 10 weeks) for the summer to
all those who have the camp send out at least two letters to a minimum of
fifty people for them. TER will pay Workers Comp,
the employers share of FICA Taxes and a limited insurance for those who
raise up to $2,500. Above that, 20% will be deducted to help cover those
expenses.
How Do I Raise My
Support?
As a staff member, you raise your support by
securing partners that want to help you have a summer ministry for Christ.
These may be churches or individuals. Trail’s End Ranch helps by sending
out two letters on your behalf to the mailing list you supply. Also
supplied are: Camp Brochures, Prayer Cards, Return Envelopes, Official tax-deductible Receipts
