Dear Pastors, Ministers and Saints of West Virginia:
Thanks so much for your continued support of the WV District Youth Ministry and the General Youth Division. Each year–through the support of churches like yours–thousands of dollars are sent into all the world to help build churches, win souls and effectuate revival.
Special thanks to all churches who have supported Sheaves for Christ this year. Many offerings have been received thus far. The SFC Sacrificial offering date was Sunday, September 11th. However, if you have not yet sent in or collected your church’s SFC offering, it is not too late!
Please help us with this very important offering. Remember, 40% of the SFC offering stays right here in WV to assist in the many ministries provided to your students and young people.
Also, if you’ve not yet followed the WV Youth Ministry on Facebook and Twitter please do so at the following links:
Thanks in advance for your help!
Why? One Lost = Too Many!

Here is the schedule:
West Virginia Family,
Youth Camp 2011 begins one week from today! I’m happy to report to you that we have received many pre-registrations and are looking forward to an impacting youth camp! I can’t think of any youth ministry method that has had more of a lasting impact on our students than youth camp! We covet earnestly your prayers as we go into this exciting week!
Campers–please note the following information:
We’d also like to make sure that everyone understands that ALL WV saints are more than welcome to attend the night services in the worship center just as it was in the past at Point Pleasant. The amount of seats is less than at the Pt. Pleasant location, however, we still have seating for around 650-750.
We are very excited about this year’s camp! Thanks for allowing us the privilege of ministering to your teens and students!
Sincerely in Christ,
Robert E. Fazzalore
WV District Youth President
Dear West Virginia Family,
On behalf of all the Youth Team let me wish you a very Happy Independence Day!
The Youth Team has been working diligently to prepare for Youth Camp 2011 which begins three weeks from today! We are very excited about the new venue and the many new activities we are able to include this year.
We believe it will be a great camp for your students and youth!
Let me remind you that pre-registration is $125 per camper and must be postmarked by next Monday, July 11th! Registration at the door (space permitting) will be $150. Be sure and take advantage of the savings and pre-register today! We have received several pre-registration forms already. However, there is still PLENTY OF ROOM for all campers desiring to attend (both girls and boys)!
More camp information is also available at our new WV YOUTH MINISTRY WEBSITE at www.wvyouth.com/.
Please let us know if you have questions or concerns about youth camp.
Blessings,
Robert Fazzalore

Dear Fellow West Virginians,
Greetings and Salutations to all. I pray that this letter finds you enjoying the blessings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We are looking forward to seeing each of you at District Conference in Morgantown, WV. I did want to write to you today to update you on camp 2011. In the recent ministers meeting in Clarksburg, WV the ministers of the WV District voted to accept the offer on our campground. This left us with a very urgent and very important task of finding a place to have camp in 2011. Let me just assure you we ARE having youth camp in 2011! So, the Youth Department began investigating many different options. I am glad to report to you that we were able to secure a location! We will be having Youth Camp 2011 at Rippling Waters Campground in Sissonville, WV from Monday, July 25 – Thursday, July 28.
Rippling Waters Campground is beautiful and offers many accommodations. First, it is located just minutes from Charleston. So, hotels, shopping, and food will be easily available. Secondly, it offers many great activities. There are two volleyball courts, a covered basketball court, plenty of open fields to play softball or flag football, a kids playground, zip lining, paintball, a lake to go fishing or boating, and beautiful places to sit just fellowship. It also has beautiful housing quarters. Our campers will be staying in cabins and cottages that are all air conditioned. Plus for those of you wanting to bring your own camper, there are plenty of places to park with full hook-up available. The campground has a prayer chapel, and a place for a camp-fire. Also the tabernacle is very nice!
You don’t want to miss Youth Camp 2011! Our theme this is “Why? 1 lost = 2 many!” We are going to have a fun filled, action packed, anointed week at WV District Youth Camp 2011!!! Come and join us for this life changing experience.
In closing, allow me to say that both myself and Sis. Meadors love each and every one of you and pray for you daily! If there is ever anything we can do, please do not hesitate to ask!
Yours in Christ,
Justin Meadors
WV District Youth Secretary
Click below to watch a video preview of WV District Youth Camp 2011:
From Brother Garlitz: “Regarding the campground: The amount of the sale is $320,000.00. The amount of the insurance claim from the theft loss is $26,000. Closing will take place this summer. The monies will be invested in the UPCI Foundation and will return approximately $14,000.00 per year to the District. The District Board and both the Youth and Sunday School departments are aggressively working to have an announcement that you can carry back to your church and youth following District Conference.”
Honoring the Past While Looking Forward to the Future
The WV District UPCI ministers have voted on three different occasions to sell the campground. The third and final vote (on April 19, 2011) was to accept an offer of $320,000, which amount is to be protected in an interest-bearing account that guards the investment while funding the planting of new UPCI churches.
By vote of the ministers, the funds cannot be touched except by a super-majority vote of the District Conference. The recent theft of all copper plumbing lines from the camp is resulting in an insurance claim that will be sufficient to cover all the District’s closing cost for the sale. This means the full $320,000 will go into the protected account.
The District will be having youth camps elsewhere. Youth camps / camp-meetings are a part of our Apostolic culture, and they will continue to be. With God’s help, our future will be even brighter than our wonderful past. With many fond memories, we honor not only the history on the campground, but all the precious saints and ministers who have labored to provide that history.
There will be a ministers meeting for all qualified voters of the WV District of the UPCI, on April 19, 2011 at 7pm, at Christian Apostolic Church in Clarksburg, WV. The purpose of this meeting is to ratify or reject the purchase price that has been offered for the campground.

This was the first year my grandson attended church camp. On Wednesday night he received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. All I can say is “Woo Hoo!” and “Thank you, Jesus!”
Great First Night of Youth Camp. 14 Received the Holy Ghost.

Elder John Sandy sent us the following comments and photos via email:
Here are some pics from Sunday School camp that you can either use on the church bulletin or the district website. I had to delete several that did not come out too well due to lighting.
I am also including some of the better ones that JT took after service, before we left. He is definitely hooked on becoming an every-year camper. He loved praising the Lord and thought all the church events were perfect for him. He has come home excited about what God could do through him!
I am especially thankful for those who go and take time from their personal jobs to minister to these young ones and make them strong now, so that when they become the senior high group, they can hit the ground running.
INVOLVED; DEDICATED; COMMITTED; CONSISTENT
The future of the WV UPCI is looking brighter because of Sunday School kids that love to praise God and learn of Him!
