“Congratulations! You Found Me!” So began one Camp Manager candidate’s resume and application. Needless to say, the application stood out to the members of the Search Committee.
The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that after an extensive selection process, Jake Narey has accepted the call to join Quaker Meadow Christian Ministries. Jake comes to us with a background in Christian camping and staff development, an understanding of the dynamics and challenges facing Christian camping in these times, and a passion to be used by God to further His Kingdom via Quaker Meadow Camp. Jake, his wife Samantha, and their soon-to-be-born first child (a boy due in mid-July) will join the Quaker Meadow family in time to participate in our annual staff hiring and plan and participate in our annual Work Camp being planned for Memorial Day Weekend.
Please take a few moments to give a loving Quaker Meadow welcome to Jake and Sam and to introduce yourself. In the next several weeks, they will be planning and accomplishing a move to the Porterville/Springville area. For now, you can reach Jake at Jake@QuakerMeadow.org. Better yet, plan to come to Work Camp over Memorial Day weekend: you can meet Jake and Sam, invest in what God is doing, and catch the excitement as the future unfolds before us!
---------------------------------
Christian Camping has been a great joy and privilege for my wife, Samantha, and I. It has truly been a gift from God to be a part of this wonderful and unique ministry. We have experienced the Lord working in our lives as we seek to be used by Him in the lives of others. As the Lord calls us to Quaker Meadow Christian Camp, we know that He has great things in store and look forward to the work He has for us.
I was blessed with the opportunity to attend Cathedral Bible College in Escondido, concentrating in Biblical Counseling and Apologetics. I am currently working on my Business degree with an emphasis in Accountancy to be completed in June of this year.
Samantha and I have served in the Christian Camping Ministry for over seventeen years combined. We met at Palomar Christian Conference Center while Samantha was serving on staff and I was attending a men’s retreat. We have been married six years and are expecting our first boy this summer.
Our prayer for Quaker Meadow Christian Camp is that it continues to eternally impact the lives of all who come in contact with the ministry. There is no greater privilege than to serve the Most High, providing a place for people to develop a lifelong commitment to Christ, and grow in their personal relationship with Him. What a blessing!
Feel free to come by and visit. I would love to get to know you and hear your stories and memories from Quaker Meadow.
