Sumatanga

What Sumatanga Means to Me...
I am the 3rd generation of my family to
come here. This place has worked many
miracles for me. Love is obviously here.
People here care for us and our journey.
Thank you for keeping the joy ALIVE!

This summer has been amazing….. but
my favorite part of this summer was being able to come to Sumatanga. It is an
experience like no other. I really want to
come back next year and the year after
that and the year after that and even
more summers after that.

I heard God’s call on my life when receiving Holy Communion at Sumatanga.

You are changing lives… and
with God’s help, those lives will
one day change the world.
Prayers—Presence—Service
Gifts
Believing that prayer can remove obstacles
and open doors, a prayer ministry for Sumatanga has been launched. Two laywomen are leading and coordinating this team.
The team prays for camp leadership and
staff, and for each person or group that
comes to be refreshed at Sumatanga. They
also pray for God’s blessing and help as
Sumatanga turns the corner into a brighter
future.

Every person who comes to Sumatanga has the
opportunity to experience God in many different
ways – from the beauty of creation to the stories
told by others on the journey. Many people have
said that when they are at Sumatanga it is like
being on Holy Ground because God has
changed so many lives in this special place.
Your gift to Sumatanga will not only maintain,
but enhance our high level of quality programming. In addition to the outstanding summer
camps that are provided for youth and children,
we are offering new camps this year to reach
more people. Horse Camps, Athletic Camps, a
Princess Camp, Adventure Camps, camps for
grandparents and grandchildren...these are some
of the new offerings Sumatanga has for summer
camp this year.
Your gift to Sumatanga will help ensure attractive and comfortable accommodations for our
guests. We are committed to upgrading our facilities and maintaining a high level of comfort and
attractiveness. Already many of our guests are
noticing changes and expressing appreciation.
Your service helps make
our service possible.
Sumatanga has opportunities for service for
your group or church. We welcome volunteer groups to come and “give back” to this
camp you love through hands-on work projects. We have many opportunities to utilize
your special gifts in our ministry to God’s
people.
