Senior Camp-Lance and KatE Dilks-Bird
Lance and Kate have been involved with Malaga Youth Camps since 2010 and 2014 respectively, serving in different capacities including the roles of counselor, worship leader, directors, Bible verse games teacher, and Bible study teachers.
We both love serving in camp ministry because we look forward to witnessing the fruit of how God uses these weeks to plant seeds in the lives of the next generation. Our favorite camp memory is meeting each other at camp! This is where we met and grew deeper in faith together. We have been married for 8 years and currently reside in Woodstown, NJ. Our favorite Bible verse is 1 John 4:19, “We love because He first loved us.” We're most looking forward to the unique and marvelous ways God will move in the hearts of the next generation this summer! Every year is an awesome journey and something always surprises us. It's incredible to witness His Holy Spirit doing a new thing and to see how everything comes together to point campers back to Christ!
