MEET YOUR TEAM LEADER

Rich Armstrong

“Many Sudanese refugees that have fled to Egypt are being cared for physically, economically, and spiritually by our ministry partner.  They have asked CAMP-of-the-WOODS to help them with vocational training - any specific skill set we know and can teach to help them make a living (such as sewing, hairdressing, electrical, HVAC, welding, etc). This training will allow them to provide for their families where they are struggling to provide basic necessities. In providing this support, our ministry partners are creating relationships that lead to Bible study engagement in home churches. This is a unique opportunity to have an impact on people in an area of the world that is normally closed off to even considering Christianity.  Please consider joining us for this Thanksgiving week in changing lives!”
