NIGHT OF VISION — THANK YOU
Friday night was a reminder that what God is doing through Minnetonka Camp is bigger than any one event. We’re grateful for how He brought everything together and for every person who played a part.
Thank you to First Baptist Church in Clayton for opening your doors and partnering with us in this mission.
To everyone who helped set up, decorate, donate, bid, give, travel, and serve—your generosity is not just appreciated, it’s eternal. Every dollar given helps put a student in a place where they can hear the gospel, respond to Christ, and experience life change through Jesus.
Thank you to those who became new Legacy Partners. You didn’t just give a one-time gift—you made a commitment to invest in the ongoing work of the gospel through this ministry. We are grateful to have you with us for the long haul.
To those who joined us Saturday morning to pray and walk the camp grounds—thank you for seeking the Lord with us. Those moments matter more than we can measure.
We are especially encouraged that several individuals have already stepped forward to serve at camp this summer. That is the Lord at work, raising up laborers for His harvest.
One of the most meaningful moments of the night was the presentation of the Charles Bartlett Award. This award carries deep meaning for us. First and foremost, it keeps the memory of our dear friend and lifelong camper, Charles Bartlett, alive. His legacy continues every time we recognize someone who reflects that same heart for this ministry.
It also gives us the opportunity to publicly honor those who faithfully serve, often without recognition, but with eternal impact.
This year’s recipients were Donnie and Karen Foster.
They are the definition of what it means to be all-in for the Kingdom. They have invested financially in a significant way, committed as Legacy Partners, and consistently shown up to serve—during the summer and throughout the year. They are always willing to step in, meet needs, and serve with humility and faithfulness.
They don’t do it for recognition. They do it because they love the Lord, they love students, and they believe in the mission of Minnetonka Camp.
Donnie and Karen, we love you, we honor you, and we thank God for you. This award is a small reflection of the lasting impact you have made and will continue to make.
Thank you again to everyone who was part of this weekend. Because of you, students will hear the gospel, lives will be changed, and the work will continue for the glory of God alone.
