Hope for Augusta

Hello Hope for Augusta Family!

We have some exciting news to share with you. Our dedicated staff, Mike Rosser and Stephen Pittman, have been leaders of Hope for Augusta for more than 12 incredible years. Today, we're thrilled to announce that the Lord has called them to embark on a new journey as co-founders and co-directors of a new non-profit organization, Oaks Ministries.

Under the umbrella of Oaks Ministries, Mike and Stephen will be extending the legacy they've built with Hope for Augusta and will continue leading the New Town, Walton Oaks Adventure Center, and College for Kids programs. We are grateful for the commitment and service that Mike and Stephen have poured into our community throughout the years. Join us in praying that the Lord will bless them abundantly in this new chapter with Oaks Ministries.

Hope For Augusta will continue as a First Pres ministry and remains committed to sharing the hope of the gospel with students of downtown Augusta. We will partner with Oaks Ministries for the greatest Kingdom advancement in our urban community. We invite you to check out their website www.oaksministries.org and connect with them on Facebook Oaks Ministries .

Over the next couple of weeks we will be sharing information and ways you can be praying for our various programs.
Today we start with our summer program, College for Kids! CFK is a four-week educational summer day camp that serves almost 100 preK-8th grade students. Students eat breakfast together and then receive instruction in Math, English Language Arts, and Bible from certified teachers in the morning. After eating a good lunch, students participate in various arts, sports, and life skills activities such as Photography, Basketball, and Cooking.
After the last week of camp, students attend Camp Grace, an overnight camp located outside of Macon, GA designed specifically for students who live in an urban environment. At Camp Grace, students learn from God’s Word as well as participate in fun activities such as rock climbing, fishing, and archery.
Pray that the Lord would use all that the students learned and experienced this summer to help them flourish in Christ and in school!
