Missions Team Verse 2024Ephesians 3:14-19For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through the His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know the love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Summer Missionary positions start the 1st week in July and run for 8 weeks.
NOTE* All positions with Monarch are Missionary positions and require support building. Some senior positions are supported by grants, but still require some support building. Individual Fund raising is supported by donations given to the camp for that purpose. Amounts vary from year to year, so no base amount can be promised.
Support raising gives people the opportunity to invest in you and the children you will minister to throughout the summer. It is a great opportunity for you to see God provide!
