Questions make
conversation interesting
THINK ABOUT IT. If you never asked a question in a
conversation what would you ever learn? Would you
know the persons name? What he likes doing on the
weekend? What her favorite foods are? How many are in
their family?
Kids love asking questions. That is why they are so
much fun to be around. And with being around 20,000 children and youth this
summer, the One Hope Canada mission team heard lots of questions: How do
you shoot that arrow so straight?, Why are there so many mosquitoes?, Why
did they kill Jesus?, Can God really love me?
Questions are great because they make us ponder and they show someone is
interested in us. Jesus loved asking questions too. What do you want me to do
for you?, Who do you say I am?, Do you love me?
As you flip the pages of this edition of Canadas Hope, we know you will
enjoy reading some of the many conversations from this past summer.
And by the way, would you like to have a conversation about the awesome
news of what Jesus has done for you with someone who doesnt yet know who
Jesus is? Start by asking, not telling. Its a great way to get the conversation going.
Together with you in serving Him!

Plugged
into Him
W E L I V E I N A P L U G G E D - I N WO R L D , D O N T W E ?
Texting, Facebook,
Twitter, e-mail, etc., have become a way of life and most of us are probably wondering how we ever got
along without all this technology. Yet, with all this ability to connect have we forgotten how to really
have a conversation? Are we truly connecting in a meaningful way?
Author Sherry
Turkle, psychologist and professor
at MIT, and
author of Alone
Together: Why
We Expect More
From Technology
and Less From Each Other, wrote in
the April 21, 2012 edition of the New
York Times, We live in a technological universe in which we are always
communicating. And yet, we have
sacrificed conversation for mere
connectionwe expect more from
technology and less from one another, and seem increasingly drawn
to technologies that provide the
illusion of companionship without
the demands of relationship.

Throughout the summer, I have
been a part of countless conversations. Part of a program directors
job description here at Roseau River
Bible Camp is to ensure that the
members of our cabin-leading staff
are being supported. Time and time
again, Ive been blessed by the way
God has orchestrated conversations
that needed to happen, all in the
right timing.
An example of this was when a

Whats really exciting is seeing the pastor intentionally connect with families who
dont have a home church so they feel welcome to return the following sunday.
Camp helps youth develop strong
group bonds, Hodges explains, and
many of those relationships continue
after summer and even after high school
graduation. There is a desire to keep in
touch and encourage one another in
their faith. Its really good to see.
But church kids are not the only
ones impacted by camp ministry.
Churches who are involved in camp
ministry are reminded of that each
summer.
One highlight for Nathaniel
Harder, Co-Director of Manitobas
Adventure Day Camp, was seeing the
beginning of a relationship between
campers, their parents, and the pastor
of the church who hosted a week of
Adventure Day Camp.
