What's multi-generational?

We used to hear a lot about how one generation can't get along with another. Maybe we don't hear of the "generation gap" so much today because people just take it for granted that it exists and it doesn't need explaining.


Well, let me introduce you to John, Judy, Joanne, Dave and Tim. They are part of the team from Grace Church (Harmony, PA) who are here working along side our missionaries preparing Camp Nathanael for summer ministry. What makes this group a little special is they are three generations of one family (dad/grandfather, mom/grandmother, sister/aunt/great aunt, son/dad, son) - multi-generational is what the latest buzz word calls them. What a treat to see this family serving the Lord together this week. So much for the generation gap.


This week we have families, senior adults, empty nesters and singles working side by side to accomplish a task. SMMM has been greatly blessed in recent years to have multi-generational teams volunteer to assist this ministry. I hope its a pattern repeated many times in the future.


That's what's happening along the banks of Troublesome Creek until next time.

That's great to hear! It sure says a lot about their family. I'm praying for you all as you work to prepare the Camp for this summer.
