A Pivoting Season In recent months, difficult decisions were made as a result of COVID-19. Here are some of the ways it impacted Word of Life:
• Bible Institute students were transitioned to remote education to finish the 2020 spring semester.
• Summer camp in New York was cancelled.
• Florida Youth Camp season was shortened.
• Operating expenses were reduced including staffing by 33%.
• Budgets were rewritten for the second half of 2020.
Funds to bring the ministry through this challenge will provide resources to maintain facilities, care for staff, and prepare for life change opportunities on both the New York and Florida campuses this winter and next year. Through careful fiscal management and focusing on the health and safety of guests, students and staff, these resources will enable Word of Life to remain vibrant in its mission to help young people experience life change through the end of 2021. Note: Some friends of the ministry have already provided gifts through an International Field Relief Fund to help our overseas fields who have special needs due to COVID-19.
Note from Don Lough. . . Your gift to the Life Change Challenge is incredibly strategic. It will provide ongoing funds during 2021 that will connect the ministry to the following years when we anticipate this pivoting season to adjust to the realities of the new normal that will be experienced. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and investment in Word of Life during these exceptional days!
