What's Going On?

If you are familiar with Power Ministries, then you know that New Purpose Retreat season is FAST approaching!!! If you are not familiar, our New Purpose Retreats are a unique camping opportunity for children and adults with Special Needs. We have designed a program that we take on the road to camps in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Kentucky. The retreat program consists of devotions, praise and worship, crafts, recreational activities and campfire. We've tried to design our camping experiences similar to that of a 'typical' church camping opportunity, but on a smaller, less strenuous scale. Each camper is paired with a faculty person, a "Buddy" that befriends them while they are there, and that attends to any special needs they might need assistance with.

We always hear that the campers walk away from the retreats blessed and excited. However, we hear tales from the faculty on how their lives are just as deeply impacted, sometimes more! If you would like to attend or work at one of these New Purpose Retreat sessions, check the dates at the side of our blog entries. If one of the dates lines up with your schedule, be sure and contact our home office for details on how to attend and we will send you a registration packet!

Welcome to Our Blog!

We are moving up in the world of technology! We are blogging now! Our hope it to communicate in a more detailed manner here the goings on at Power Ministries. The goal is to not only share about events, camps, etc., but to share other things on our hearts as well...how God is working in us, in the ministry, in the participants. We may invite guest writers from time to time to share their thoughts and feelings. The sky is the limit! Please check back with us often, and by all means, leave your comments. For detailed information about Power Ministries view our website: www.powerministries.org If you have some thoughts you'd like to share about your experiences, present and past, and if you have pictures from any Power Ministries' events, email us at amtolbert@powerministries.org

Again, welcome and have a blessed day!!!
