“What’s Mine Is yours, what’s yours is mine. The more you share, the more the sun will shine…”They are the lyrics to a song from an old cartoon movie you might remember, All Dogs Go To Heaven. The movie wasn’t that great, and it certainly wasn’t worth having a theological debate over, but something about that song always stuck with me.
The refreshing and inspiring phenomenon about Christian camping is that it’s not a giant competition between camps. You aren’t hotels vying for guests, theatres competing for audiences, or politicians rallying for votes. Everyone in this industry is available and ready to minister with hospitality, teaching, and freedom from the shoulder-weight and distractions of the world.
And while all camps are unique in their gifts and talents, just as we are individually, you have a lot of the same needs. How are you banding together to supply needs and cut costs? How can you share and stretch our dollars in a tight economy?
Proximity counts for a lot these days with rising cost of fuel and maxed out time & energy budgets. Are there resources you can share with other camps in your section? Food? Vehicles? Printing? Staff? Staff retreat swaps? Insurance?
Many of you probably already trade off staff retreats, share carpenters for capitol improvements, and go in together for printing. Can you dream even bigger?
Guess where you can share your bigger dream with other CCCA members and make it happen? (Hint: Starts with “www.cccamember” and ends with “connection.com”)
