Keeping Up With Our Camps S~ew Ranch The Ranch was well-served by a dedi– cated staff this summer. The ministry of the staff is one of the biggest impacts made on lives each summer. An attitude of service is cultivated and each staff member has an opportunity to put his testimony into action on a personal basis. This summer's Directors Awards for outstanding service went to Jennifer Roloff, Perry Baptist, Canton, and C.J. Richardson, Bellefontaine, of the support staff; and Korey Loughry, Grace Baptist, Kent, and Dawn Kramer, Riley Creek Baptist, Bluffton, of the counseling staff.
