River Valley Ranch

Dear Family and Friends,

It has been a while since I have written a letter like this. I never thought I would be getting into something like this, but I am so grateful the Lord has given such an open door to share His truth with others. I have been accepted an internship with an organization called River Valley Ranch in Manchester, Maryland. River Valley Ranch is a well established Christian Adventure Camp that has been reaching young people for Christ since 1952. Surprisingly, they want me to come and work with them for one year to reach lost people for Christ and help those who know Him to deepen their walks with Christ.

The internship begins August 27th and involves a variety of activities. The intern program offers college level Bible classes that I will be attending, many of them designed around experienced based learning. During the year we will plan and go on two outdoor adventure leadership trips, host weekend retreats where we present the gospel to local community groups, take care of housekeeping, hire the summer staff, prepare for over 3,000 campers for the summer, organize the annual corn maize and extreme expo skating demo, and facilitate outdoor education school groups. This camp has a ton to offer people: horses, white water rafting, rappelling, 800ft zip line, bouldering, and climbing activities. Their facilities provide an amazing place to share Christ. During the summer I will oversee a group of camp counselors. We will do Bible study and different things with them to help encourage them through the summer.

I am looking forward to the spiritual growth, sharing Christ with others, and possible professional direction afterwards. During the internship I will be staying at River Valley Ranch; they will provide housing and a living allowance. This internship requires that I raise a small amount of 1,500 for the year. Let me know if you would like to support me financially. Your prayers are greatly treasured during this time. I do not know what to expect, but I want to see more of who God is and serve with this community of believers wholeheartedly.

Blessings,
Melody Infinger
