“Building relationships with community organizations and churches is key to pursuing new ministry strategies.”<\/h2>\n

\n\tIn response to our nation\u2019s rapidly changing culture, One Hope Canada\u2019s national board established a vision statement in 2018 to guide mission leadership and its 45 ministry points as together they consider future ministry endeavors.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe vision states that One Hope Canada will intentionally equip current and next generation leaders to be Gospel-centered and, aggressively pursue new ministry strategies that recognize cultural and geographical realities.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur new vision statement will focus our energies and initiatives for the coming years, ensuring that One Hope Canada can continue fulfilling the mandate God has given this mission since 1927,\u201d explains National Board Chair Fedri van Dongen.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn this brief article, I look at the second part of the vision statement and show, that though unique, the mission\u2019s 45 ministry points are united around One Hope Canada\u2019s purpose and are discovering ways to actively pursue ministry strategies to fulfill that purpose. This often begins with a year-round focus on ministry.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAt one time we were known for summer-only ministry, but not anymore!\u201d comments Bobby Cooper, director of Hope Bay Bible Camp. \u201cMuch has changed, and we\u2019re almost as busy now in our weekly year-round ministry work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBobby and his team have discovered that Hope Bay Bible Camp, located on Pender Island off the east coast of Vancouver Island, has a unique opportunity\u2014due to its geographical reality\u2014to fulfill the mission\u2019s purpose: there are very few churches for the island\u2019s more than 2,200 permanent residents. \u201cThe need for a consistent community on the island,\u201d says Bobby, \u201cled to weekly services, Sunday school, a Friday evening youth group, and a teen Alpha study. All these added to what people outside of camp ministry refer to as the off-season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMartin and Shannon Lord, directors of Dorion Bible Camp, an hour east of Thunder Bay, agree there is no off-season. \u201cWe are a small community and most people know how busy we constantly are,\u201d comments Shannon. \u201cThere are year-round ministry opportunities, whether it\u2019s weekly youth Bible studies in Thunder Bay or weekend retreats at the camp throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMartin points out that historically, summer Bible camp ministry was a byproduct of ministry that happened year-round. \u201cIn the formative years, summer camps were an extension of a  year-round school ministry. Back then, when all missionaries conducted Bible studies in schools, it was an effective way to recruit summer campers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOur ministry points are discovering that building relationships with community organizations and churches is key to pursuing new ministry strategies that recognize cultural realities. \u201cOur camp developed a relationship with Dilico\u2014the local aboriginal children services organization,\u201d say the Lords. \u201cWhen foster parents need respite, the campers come to our camp for a week. This forms 50 percent of our summer campers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRyan Skaling, director of Blomidon Bible Camp on the Bay of Fundy, says the new vision statement spurs him to connect with the local church. \u201cSeeing BBC as an extension of the church changes how we minister year-round. I want to find creative ways, such as using camp ambassadors or camp days in churches, to connect our campers with a church. I also look to find how the camp can help the church with training and encouragement. This May, one of our day camp missionaries, Andrew Dorey, will hold a training session for the local church on teaching and building relationships with kids who have behavioral challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThere are challenges to aggressively pursuing new ministry strategies\u2014a lack of financial resources or time are common\u2014but so is being misunderstood by those our missionaries minister to.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy heart breaks when I see people in our community misunderstand our motive to love them,\u201d says Bobby Cooper. \u201cBut this is how Jesus must feel every day. If my heart breaks, how much more is His breaking for those He made in His image? It is a powerful reminder that part of my job is to build trust with my community. I need them to know how much I love them because that is how God has chosen to show His love to them. We love because He is love, and therefore He can\u2019t help but love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom coast to coast, One Hope Canada missionaries and volunteers make every effort to love over 7,000 children and youth each year in non-summer ministries and will continue to do so. Why? Because they resonate with Paul\u2019s being compelled by the love of Christ. It is the love of Christ that spurs them to take an honest look at their mission field and respond with creativity, energy, and a desperate dependence upon God. This, as they move ahead with the eternal hope of the Gospel.<\/p>\n
