November & December 2025 🕯️
Hopefully, you got our Christmas Letter at the beginning of December! It’s a little different as we normally send out our email newsletter and our physical Christmas Letter. This year, we opted to just send the letter in the mail. It may become a tradition for our November newsletters to come in the mail.
If you did not get our Christmas Newsletter in the mail, let us know! tess.sharp@campnathanael.org
Weekend Conferences
November was filled with a Weekend Conference full of Middle Schoolers. I, Lee, and a coworker, William, helped with the new-to-me task of transporting the campers from Letcher County, driving one of the vans! I know it’s not an exciting task, but it was fun talking with campers on the way to and from camp. The van had some trouble while taking the campers back home and we had to get a replacement van from camp! Thankfully, we got everyone back home just a little later than planned, and the van is back in functioning order now!
New Office Work
We also said goodbye to the Stanleys, who served in the office with me, Lee, and on other committees. They have moved to Kansas to pastor a church and are missed. Daniel helped with much of the Business side of camp, and I have now stepped into that role. Be in prayer as I navigate new responsibilities. Tess is also jumping in some to help with some additional office tasks as well!
Church and Family
We got to spend some quality time at our church during the children’s Christmas Play (which our kids sang in) and we have continued our Family Sunday School. We also got to spend time with both sides of our family for Christmas. Also, not sure if we had said this or not, but Lee was voted in as a Deacon at Hindman First Baptist Church this year.
Pray with us!
- Continue to pray for M, our foster son. His mom is so close to getting him home, and we are excited for her.
- Pray for the new workers joining Camp and raising their support teams.
- Paige Waddles
- Grace Smith
- Ellie Franklin
- Pray as we navigate new responsibilities at Camp and Church! Pray for wisdom, as these responsibilities come with leadership roles.
