Cultivate Stories
Lachlan and Ash Bunn have attended CRU Holiday Camps over many years and in various ways. Ash tagged along with her parents as a child, they both attended as campers in high school, and served as leaders, camp mechanics and directors. In fact, it was at Dirt Action, a dirt bike camp for high schoolers, where they first met!
These winter holidays marked the 10th year of CRU Blast, CRU’s longest running Day Camp. The camp takes place annually in July at Richard Johnson Anglican School and Oakhurst Anglican Church. Each year, a team of around 40 leaders run activities and Christian Discovery sessions for 80-100 campers in Kindergarten to Year 6.
Over the summer break, 431 wonderful CRU Camp leaders ran 27 activity camps, day camps and study O camps for nearly 1,300 campers. Every season, we thank God for His provision of faithful volunteers who dedicate time and energy to serve Him on camps. Let’s hear from a few who served in different roles, but were equally encouraged by how God worked through their particular summer camp.
Every week, we hear encouraging stories of how God is working through schools and in the lives of students across Australia, both on the east coast and through the ministry of CRU West in WA. CRU Groups have growing attendance, new lunchtime groups are starting up, and opportunities for providing Schools Ministry support to teachers and chaplains often exceed what our teams can offer. Praise God!
