Springville Camp and Conference Center

Hello, All! It’s been quite busy for us McNairs the last couple of weeks. I haven’t had much time to sit and gather my thoughts due to recent events dealing with “Big Mama”. I have a few moments now so I better take advantage of it! We’ve had several things to take care of camper related, which by the way, campers seriously require maintenance. We had to replace our glass pantry door where somebody’s foot went thru it because they were “surfing”. We’ve also had some newbie uh-oh moments. That makes for a trip back to the shop. If you’re planning on buying a camper, just go ahead and put those said moments into your budget. You’re going to need it.

For those that do not know, our ministry started in Royal Rangers. Sam has been a commander since 2005 and I followed in 2008. Most of our ministerial time has been spent pouring into boys/young men of all ages. We’ve watched many grow up from elementary age to adulthood, and we’re still blessed with the opportunity to sow that seed. Every year there is a LEAD Conference where other commanders and leaders gather to learn, share, encourage, and fellowship, which is where we’ve been this weekend.

We have been surround by several mentors the last few days that we hold very close to our hearts. Most have known us since the beginning of our marriage and have watched our ministry bloom over the years. Even though I no longer have my actual father to rely on for advice or just the regular fatherly duties, I have many fatherly men to fill that gap. Men that would do everything in their power to help me if needed. Men that I want my son to look up to because of the role model they are. I can say that without a doubt, they are who I want to have in my corner praying for me.

Also, Sam and I have witnessed A LOT of love for missions during this event, and I’ve got to say I am absolutely blown away. We were invited to share our hearts and testimony, and in return we were given the opportunity to raise funds for our missions project. Huge shout out to all the commanders who gave selflessly. We love and appreciate it more than you know ❤
