Yo Tengo Gozo, Gozo, Gozo, Gozo, En Mi Coraz`on!
Dear Camp Dad or Mom,
The familiar children's song: " I've got that joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart!" best describes the feeling I have as I anticipate what God will do to my heart and yours during our mission trip together this summer. In 1995, as head of the Hasler household, I made the initial decision to "take our family out of our comfort zone" and follow Christ to Mexico. God has honored my meager step of faith by allowing me to witness a shift in my attitude and in that of my family members. Let me explain.
As a father of four, I felt it was important to teach my children how to make a difference in other people's lives by using their time and talents. God has blessed our family with so much, and giving up a week of vacation seemed like a small sacrifice, at best. Little did I know that God would use my family to render my heart tender for further service. My children's willingness to continue to make this our family vacation, working without complaint, camping in the dirt, building homes for Christ, invigorates and renews me spiritually to serve beside this next generation of believers.
Beth and I will be happy to answer any questions that you have as you make preparation for this year's camp experience. Please feel free to contact us.
If you are a first time camper, it's not by accident that you have taken this step of faith. Let me assure you, God has put this team together. If you're a veteran, you will be blessed by the fellowship of these new team members.
Your servant,
Rod
