DREAMING BIG<br />
Dreams do come true! For over<br />
30 years the PennDel Royal Rangers were an<br />
entity without a home. Moving around from<br />
place to place, holding events at locations we<br />
could find available to meet our need, renting<br />
property, using Boy Scout Camps, utilizing farms,<br />
or camping on church properties. Every event<br />
required that we haul everything there, set it<br />
up, construct our stages and then tear it all back<br />
down again after the event. We always dreamt of<br />
having our own camp, but couldn’t find a way to<br />
make that happen. We never stopped dreaming<br />
though and always held on to that dream.<br />
Through the efforts of a handful of visionary<br />
leaders we finally realized our dream in 2000,<br />
acquiring a camp of our own in a place called<br />
“Honey Grove,” no less, how apropos. Realizing<br />
that dream, we have now moved on to other<br />
dreams. A dream that we will develop the premier<br />
camp for Royal Ranger boys to come, have fun,<br />
get trained, and be mentored to launch out into<br />
the world as Christ-like Servant leaders. We also<br />
dream about having a camp where families can<br />
come and enjoy a serene setting and relax and<br />
fellowship and experience the move and power<br />
of God. Our dream doesn’t stop there, however.<br />
Since we have been having Pow Wows over<br />
the last 50 years, we estimate that over 3,000<br />
boys have given their hearts to the Lord. We are<br />
dreaming that through our camp and our efforts<br />
that we will double that number over the next 50<br />
years. Too big of a dream? Not with our God, not<br />
with men of vision inspired by God.<br />

When Pastor Steve asked me to become the<br />
District Girls’ Ministries Director, his guidance<br />
and advice were priceless. Each time I asked<br />
for advice, he gave it without making me out of<br />
touch in my leadership.<br />
The Women in Ministry Retreat has become the<br />
highlight of the year for many of us. Each year<br />
not only did Marjie plan for us to have a fun<br />
and refreshing weekend, but it was filled with<br />
incredible times of friendship and connections.<br />
She had a way of making each feel important<br />
and valuable.<br />
I know God’s ways are perfect.<br />
(Psalm 18:30). I know that<br />
He has a great plan for them<br />
and for the PennDel Ministry<br />
