Life in a parachurch ministry often looks very different from life in other ministries, but the goal is always the same: live as a minister of the gospel. Rachel Shelton and her husband were called to minister full time at TBarM Camps in Texas. Rachel describes the joys and challenges of camp life, and how her family focuses on doing life with others as they point them to Christ.
“We’re learning to be who we are as we relate to the students and share what the Lord is doing. They’re not looking for people older than them to try to connect and be real young and hip. They’re just looking for people who are going to point them to Christ. And we do our best to try to do that as we try to do that for ourselves.”
-Rachel Shelton
“I think whatever role in ministry we’re in, we strive for integration. So as we are connecting with others, whether that’s camp ministry or church ministry or parachurch missions ministry is just letting people in our lives and not separating out, work, ministry, school. It’s all integrated.”
-Rachel Shelton
