Dear Friends & Family,

I am currently 19 years old and working towards a general Associate of Arts degree at Oak Hills Christian College. I plan to continue my studies there next school year.

From the summer of 2021 through the summer of 2023, I volunteered at Camp Oak Hills with the SOS (Serving Others Selflessly) Team doing dishes, cleaning, set-up, and take-down. I greatly enjoyed participating in the behind-the-scenes work, as well as developing friendships with my fellow team members. Then, for the summers of 2024 and 2025, I was hired to be the SOS Team Lead. I enjoyed that position just as much, if not more than my previous position.

I was given the opportunity to serve in the same role for the third time this summer. My summer will start with an intensive three-week training period. After that I will serve from mid-June through late July, scheduling and leading the SOS Team with our daily responsibilities.

I invite you to partner with me in this ministry opportunity through prayer and financial support. First, would you please commit to praying for me regularly during this summer as I interact with the other SOS Team members and as we create a setting where the Good News and love of Jesus can be shared with campers?

Along with prayer, I also need to raise financial support. My position will involve a combination of paid salary and raised support. This enables the camp to remain financially accessible to as many campers as possible. My support goal is to raise $4,000 by August 1^st. Would you also consider making a financial gift towards this goal?

If you are able to be involved financially, please return the enclosed response card or give online at campoakhills.org. If giving on-line, please enter my name in the “Summer Staff Support” section. (All donations are tax deductible.) 

I appreciate your time in considering this, your friendship, and your support.

Serving Jesus,

Daniel Paddock
