Camp Ne-O-Tez 2015 Newsletter Membership Edition
2015 MEMBERSHIP EDITION Ne - O -Tez Training Youth to Walk with Christ Camp Neotez 6266 Big River Heights Rd. Desoto, MO 63020 Kerusso Experience – Ne-O-Tez Phone: 636-586-9756 By: Devin Swindle In the summer of 2013, Harding University conducted its first Kerusso Experience. Kerusso is a week long preacher training camp for ninth to twelfth grade boys. The first camp was a smashing success! Thirty students from twenty congregations in four states and Belize spent the week on Harding’s campus learning Bible study methods and sermon preparation and delivery from faculty, students, and friends. More importantly, perhaps, they learned that they, too, could serve the LORD in a lifetime of ministry. Realizing that not every student can make a trip to Searcy for the camp, in the summer of 2014, Harding partnered with Camp-Ne-O-Tez to offer the same experience to students in the Mid-West. July 20-26, 2014, Kerusso welcomed sixteen students from congregations in and around St. Louis to Kerusso: Ne-O-Tez. Not only were students taught to preach from the Book of Jonah by faculty members and students from Harding University, but they were also privileged to hear and learn from some of the best preachers and ministers in the area – Steve Awtrey, Bob Clark, Thomas Jackson, Joe Taylor, Jimmy Teigen, and Ed Tritschler, just to name a few. Now, the week was not all about the classroom. Students enjoyed daily activities such as hiking and floating, playing pick-up basketball, and even took in some St. Louis Cardinals baseball. The camp was so well received that we are proud to announce the return of Kerusso: Ne-O-Tez, July 18-25, 2015. This year’s focus is Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Classes for both beginning and intermediate preachers will be offered, so even if your student participated last year, he will receive new information and insights this year. New and exciting activities and speakers have been planned for this year, and, of course, the Cardinals are in town! I like to say that the purpose of Kerusso is calling. The whole point of the camp is to help students hear God’s calling to ministry. Some he will call to full-time preaching, others to youth ministry or counseling, and still others to ministry in and through other vocations. The church needs preachers for sure, but it also needs ministry-minded businessmen, computer programmers, and educators. Austin Gray, a student from the Lafayette Church of Christ, has already determined to give his life to ministry because of Kerusso: Ne-O-Tez. And Austin is just one of a group of students from Lafayette who have continued to use the skills gained last summer to bless churches in the St. Louis area through the year. The best commercial for Kerusso is a student who has attended, so take it from Ted Crigler from McKnight Crossings: “If you love God, and you love the woods, and you want to express your love for God, then the Kerusso is an awesome opportunity to experience it all. Whether you are going into full-time preaching or not, this experience still can help with things in life.” 2015 MEMBERSHIP EDITION For more information concerning Kerusso: Ne-O-Tez visit www.harding.edu/bible/kerusso-experience.
