Florida Conference Pathfinders were well represented when attending the International Pathfinder Camporee in Gillette, Wyo., August 5-11, 2024. Nearly 3,800 Florida Pathfinders shared in this special event.
As the Conference Pathfinder director, I especially wanted to check beforehand with the five leaders who were taking more than 100 members to the Camporee. I wanted to see what unique challenges they were facing with taking such large groups on this trip. We talked about their plans and how they were planning to travel to the Camporee as well as travel with their Pathfinders to see some National Parks on the way.
As I talked with one director about her plans for traveling, the leader mentioned there were two Pathfinders who had been doing all they could to raise money they needed to participate in the trip. They had attended all the fundraisers and asked family members for donations, but they were still coming up short.
I then shared with the club director that Florida Conference Pathfinder ministry had been blessed by a private donor who made funds available to help Pathfinders anywhere in the Conference. These two Pathfinders qualified to benefit from this generous gift from a deceased Florida Conference member.
The director was soon in tears. That morning she had just prayed with the mom of these two Pathfinders on a separate phone call. They had prayed together asking God to open a door financially to relieve some of their stress.
“God just answered your prayer!” I told the director.
A Florida Conference member who passed away over a year ago, but had a heart for Pathfinder ministry and was a Pathfinder leader for years, left behind some funds to bless Pathfinders. This donor is still blessing Pathfinders, even though she has passed away.
How incredible that God is still using her life to bless others even after her death!
