Summer@MBC

Your MBC family tradition begins here!

Renew Connect Equip

14 God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors - the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob - has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.”

Exodus 3:14-15 NLT

Summer@MBCIn your hands you hold the information you’ll need to make this an exceptional summer experience for you and your family. We are delighted to have you join us at MBC and it is our desire that you will be renewed in your relationship with Christ, connected with friends and family and equipped to be the hands and feet of God when you go back into your home communities.

Our theme this year focuses on ‘The Names of God’. This builds on last year’s theme of God’s Promises. As we have studied God’s attributes and promises over the past two years – we will now realize that the names used to describe and define God tie very much into both the attributes and promises. May you leave this summer with a new sense of awe for the one called the great I AM.

As you and your family are blessed by this ministry, may we ask you to also take some time to consider how you could help support this ministry financially? The ministry activities (adult teaching, kids and youth programming) are all supported by donations. Your gift can help cover these costs and ensure that the programming content remains robust and ever increasing in its Kingdom impact. Thank You.

For information on our donation priorities and process, please check out the Muskoka Bible Foundation website: http://www.muskokabiblefoundation.com

We trust you will be blessed by your time at MBC this summer!

On behalf of the MBC Team,

John Friesen Jamie BellChief Executive Officer Director of Operations

Muskoka Bible FoundationMuskoka Bible Foundation (MBF) exists to support the Kingdom building activities taking place on the grounds of Muskoka Bible Centre. We are very thankful for your faithful partnership in helping to build the Kingdom of God. You are BUILDERS alongside of us in the great work God is doing here at MBC!

This year our MBF Builders target is just under $745,000. These funds support a variety of programming strategically designed to accomplish our mission of renewing, connecting and equipping the family of God.

Did you know that all of our ministry programming is completely funded through donations?

Yes, it’s true. Your fees for accommodation, meals and such cover the operating and facility costs but the adult, youth and children’s program-ming is covered by donations from people like you who participate and also many others who don’t attend but believe in what God is doing here.

Please consider a gift this summer to help support the ministry that you are enjoying.

We encourage our MBF Builders to join us for our Builders Luncheon on Saturday, August 6th. There is no cost associated with this luncheon but please be sure to register in advance! See Bev Offner at the main office to sign up or email [email protected]

Your specific opportunities for partnership this year include:

In addition to our Camp Widjiitiwin outreach opportunities, your gifts help support the Bible teaching and discipleship programming for children and youth taking place this summer and also all the costs associated with the adult ministry programming described in this program guide.

More than 9,000 guests, including more than 2,200 children and youth, will be impacted with these Bible teaching and disciple-making initiatives.
