Today they offer a broad range of gourmet food products and
have a permanent display at Dallas Market Center. I have been
responsible for all packaging designs and promotional materials
including trade show displays.

Camp Barnabas was founded in 1994 as a 501.c.3 not-for-profit organization.We give acceptance and love to people with special needs and chronicdiseases, empowering them to live lives of ability.

Able to… find my ability
Whoever I am, and whatever happensI will always love my body and mind,Even if it has different abilitiesThan other peoples’ bodies and minds.I will always be happy, becauseI will always be me.
--Mattie J.T. Stepanek*
Everyone has different abilities…some sing opera and some should avoidanything karaoke. Others work complex math problems in their head whiletheir friends carry the ones and tens in doodles on paper. Or there arethose who run marathons when others consider a walk around the blocka day's exercise.
For our campers and their families, daily life is a series of contrasts.Meeting the challenge of finding ability in the midst of the "disability" labelplaced upon their child. Looking for ways to experience life regardless ofthe obstacles. Learning to communicate without words. Capturingrefreshing moments in exhausting hours of care for their special child.Loving them fully while wishing things could be different.
By providing an environment that focuses on ability, not "disability,"Camp Barnabas provides encouragement to these campers and theirfamilies. We are able to laugh with boys and girls who are used to hearing,"No, you can't…" as they realize, yes, they can.To watch them fall deeper inlove with the Jesus who created them, to experience His love through thepeople who are serving them.To love their body and mind, even if it hasdifferent abilities than other peoples' bodies and minds.To always be happybeing who they were created to be.
*Mattie J.T. Stepanek was a writer and poet who lived 14 years with the debilitating effectsof dysautonomic mitochondrial myopathy. His writings, public speaking and poetry gave avery public voice to what it means to live a life of ability when you have been labeled ashaving a "disability."

mission statement
To provide life-changing opportunitiesto people with special needs and chronicdiseases - and the people who servethem - in a Christian camp setting.
“The best thing about camp is the joy itbrings my daughter. She gets so excited
year after year. It's the one place where shecan be herself and is surrounded by peoplethat are not bothered by her disability. She
loves camp more than her birthday andChristmas put together!” Jana D.
Ability to… grow
When you look around Camp Barnabas today, and for the past few weeks actually, you wonder,"What in the world is going on?" The old dining hall has come down, the sports field has a largeditch running down the center, framing is up for new buildings in the area of the old cabins….What's going on? Camp is getting ready for year 15, that's what is going on.
Moving to this facility in 1996, we had absolutely no idea how fast or how much Barnabas wouldgrow. Back then, we were just trying to hang on from one day to the next.There was plenty ofroom in the dining hall.The bath houses had lots of shower space and hot water heatersworked…most of the time. It took a week-and-a-half to fill the old pool, aka Lake Notta-Potti,but as long as we did it mostly at night we didn't have to choose between water there or waterin the dining hall!
We spent our time addressing situations staring us in the face right then and our answers maybeallowed a little wiggle room for growth down the road.Today it is reassuring to be able to solvethe right now questions with a long-range perspective. Removing the old dining hall opens theway for expanded housing. An arts and crafts building is being finished on the foundation of theold girls' bath house. Later this summer we will break ground on a new health center,Wellhouse,and, on its completion, the Fish House will be converted to housing for theresidential program we are planning.
In the beginning most people didn't believe there was a great need for what we were trying to do.We were often asked if there were even enough children to make a place like Barnabas necessary.The 1000's of campers we've served prove the answer was definitely yes. And now we areworking with other camps across the country to create a Barnabas experience for children"up their way." Barnabas2 (B^2) is designed to help campers who can't make their way to us herein Missouri have a place where they can fall in love with Jesus, too. Because, if there's anythingwe've learned since the idea of doing a summer camp for "those sick kids" first started stirring inour souls, it's that camp is never really done. It just takes a moment to catch its breath and thencalls us to look for a way to do more for more. And that's just fine with us.
God bless,
Paul Teas

Ability to… offer opportunity
Ability. We are all born with tremendous ability…but very early on the world begins to shapeour perspective of what we can and cannot do and we buy into it. It is amazing what we come tobelieve about ourselves, based mostly on what others have told us and almost always morenegative than positive.
On our camper applications we read things like, "He cannot talk, he cannot feed himself, etc."Necessary information for us but almost always it's what the person cannot do. So it is incrediblewhen I hear a camper's volunteer buddy say, "Oh, you should have seen my camper today. Heclimbed the ropes course." Or, "He tied his shoe." Or, "He just sang Jesus Loves Me." Thesebeautiful young people who serve at Camp Barnabas see what the camper CAN do…not whatthey are limited in doing.We train the volunteers to "be Jesus" to their campers, to love themunconditionally and serve them without limits, like Jesus! But what happens in that process is that,in these campers, they see ability, like Jesus sees them.
In the 15+ years since starting the adventure of Camp Barnabas I have learned that it is God whoequips us…when we get out of the way. When I focus on the big responsibility of raising moneyfor Camp Barnabas, often all I see is my own lack of ability. I make excuses about the economy,lack of knowledge, all kinds of things. But the truth is my ability to talk, my ability to love and myability to believe make me well-qualified to raise money for Camp Barnabas.
I may not approach this position with the professionalism of some development directors, but Ido approach it one heart at a time. I want everyone to have the opportunity to be involved in thisministry. I want people to know their money does help Camp Barnabas. I cannot imagine justworking and working and never having the joy of helping others. I especially enjoy those who findcreative ways to use their ability….runners who run marathons to raise money for camp, folkswho pick up loose change they find daily and send it in, and elementary school classrooms whosell cupcakes and give the money to camp.
The joy of knowing that your ability to give can offer the opportunity for eternal life to a childwith disability is a joy that exceeds all you could ever give.Thank you for using your ability.
In His Excellence,
CyndyTeas

the creation of the annual report. This report was mailed to
donors as well as members of the Board of Directors and
served as a main line of communication on subjects such as
camp finances, implementation of special projects, vision casting,
and as a vehicle for thanking those who supported Camp that
year. One specific challenge was discovering interesting ways to
publish statistics in a format that would capture the interest of
the reader and I believe we were successful in introducing
creative ways of delivering otherwise dry information.

CAPABLE
STRONG
HAPPYThe pictures in this report reflect the possiblities, not the disabilties. Our campers do it all!We believe Camp Barnabas is
one of the few places in the world where you don't often hear the word, "No." We believe anything is possible...sometimes you just have to be a little more creative in your approach to turn obstacles into opportunities. page 3
REFLECTIONS
“Now we see a dim reflection, as if we were looking into a mirror, butthen we shall see clearly. Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully,as God has known me.” I Corinthians 13:12 (New CenturyVersion)
What we see when we look in a mirror is influenced by our perspectives.Our campers understand this.They navigate life through a house of mirrors.This reflection tells them they are different, they don’t fit in. Other glimpsesshow a unique creation of God with a purpose and a place. Sometimes themirror projects a life that is carefree and fun.Then a shadow of illness andpain keeps them from seeing the true picture.
Camp Barnabas yearns to help people with disability and diseasesee clearly - to know fully that God has created them in His unique image.Everything we do is geared toward sharpening our focus and the focus ofour campers, volunteers and summer staff. Especially now, in these tougheconomic times, we desire for everyone to learn to define themselves byGod’s perspective, by the way He sees us and this moment in time.

BLESSINGSHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE
Even the clearest reflections can be changed by a subtle shift in perspective.
Carley M. of Baltimore, Maryland, is a fun-loving, outgoing college student withcerebral palsy. She enjoys a life full of family and friends - watching her brothersplay sports, going places with her family and hanging out with friends.But three years ago things began to shift.
Her friend,Abby, and Abby’s mom, Rhonda, heard about a camp in Missouri forpeople with special needs. They decided to volunteer. When they returned theyshared a video with Carley. It was the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition episodethat featured camp founders Paul and CyndyTeas.“I decided I wanted to go seewhat it was all about,” Carley says.
In 2007, her parents agreed to allow her to come. “Our main reservation insending Carley the first time was the distance from home,” her mom, Lisa,shares. The unknowns were also a factor.

CAMPER QUALIFICATIONS
Any person who would not be able to participate in the activities at a typicalsummer camp without adaptation would probably qualify for Camp Barnabas.This includes people with medical, physical or developmental disabilities andchildren with syndromes, rare diseases or any serious chronic illness. Becausewe believe that an individual’s special needs impact the entire family, siblings areinvited to attend specific terms of camp.

“Who would take care of Carley’s personal needs? Would she be homesick?Would she be safe doing all of the activities?Would she like the food and drink enough water?How could we go an entire week without speaking to her?”
Another concern was how Carley would react to being in an environment full ofpeople with special needs.“Carley’s been mainstreamed kindergarten throughcollege,” Lisa explains,“and she has had difficulties relating to other disabledchildren and young adults.”
Carley was excited about coming but her own reservations set in once shearrived.“I was a little bit nervous at first.There were a lot of people I didn’tknow. It was hard to know what to expect, even though Abby had told me aboutit, because I had never been around a lot of people with disabilities. I was excitedabout it but it was strange.That only lasted about an hour,” she laughs.“I couldn’twait to get involved in camp more.”
“My favorite parts of camp are the slide, devotionals and wrap-up. But thegreatest thing of all are the relationships I’ve built. Camp has changed me forever.
There is usually muchmore to life thanwhat we see at firstglance. This is justas true for CampBarnabas as it isfor any ministryor enterprise.Many people thinkof the campers’experiences the weekthey are here as the“Barnabas Bubble.”But the amazing thingwe hear from camperparents is how theirchildren never stoptalking about camp
and all the things that went on during their stay.One young lady tells time by camp.There’s the timeleading up to camp.Then there’s the time betweencamp and Christmas. After Santa comes, it’s time toget ready for camp again.
For our campers, camp isn’t just a week in thesummer, it lasts for a lifetime. Going into our 14thyear we have staff members from the early yearsbringing their children and spouses now to share inthe Camp Barnabas experience. I spoke recently
with an original camper from the pilot projectdays at Kanakuk Kamps. As we reminiscedabout some of the friends we knew back then,we both suddenly realized that almost everysingle one of the original campers are plaqueson the cross at IP.* Physically they are no longerpresent but they are always with us in our heartsand minds.
So, you see, Barnabas never really ends.
In 2008, like many other businesses and ministries,we dealt with the economic situation hobbling ournation. For a time, our year-round staff worked onreduced time and salaries.We took a detailed lookat all of our programs, evaluating them with onequestion in mind,“How does this affect thecampers?” As always, God saw that we had whatwas needed to be strong. Everyone is back on fulltime and full pay and excited about the adventurethat rolls around each June 1.
Throughout the story of Camp Barnabas, Godhas provided camp the means to keep movingforward. It has been challenging at times, buteach of those times have been an opportunityto learn, mature and grow.Our Father in Heavenis always teaching us and challenging us to bebetter servants for Him and the campers.
Camp is not just a week of fun. It is an eventthat goes on as long as the heart beats, themind remembers and the soul gives thanks.Thankyou each for being a part of this wonderful stewthat God mixes up each year. You are feedingcampers for eternity.
God’s blessings to you,
*When a Camp Barnabas camper graduates to heaven, a plaquebearing their name and their camp terms is attached to the cross atInspiration Point as a reminder that all of life is but a preparation forthe life to come.
Each night at camp we host a specially-themed party. In 2008 one of our specialevenings was a trek through Egypt.Here Paul Teas enjoys some fun with camperCory B. in his special party costume.
PROGRAMS:
Participants utilize adaptive equipment andprogramming in all activities. Our camp offersswimming, horseback riding, field games, arts andcrafts, canoeing, rifles, archery, fishing and otheroutdoor adventures.We also have a fully-accessiblehigh ropes course. During our retreat season weoffer five themed weekend camp sessions calledBarn-A-Break.This allows us to continue our rela-tionship with our campers, volunteers and summerstaff as well as open our camp to those who’venever attended before.
BARN-A-BREAK:
Kaitlyn D.’s family wasn’t sure how she would doat a summer camp so, when they saw that CampBarnabas offered a weekend option during retreatseason, they jumped at the chance.“It gave us achance to see how she would do away from home,”her mother, Diane D., says.“It also offered us agood time away from each other.” Kaitlyn broughther two friends, Kara J. and HaleyW. All three girlshave Down syndrome.
The Barn-A-Break program offers a mini-campexperience for people with special needs plus
encouragement and rest for their families. It alsoallows our summer campers, volunteers and staff away to stay more connected throughout the year.
Five themed sessions during the retreat seasondraw those who live within close driving distanceto our facilities. During the pilot season (2007-08),they spent two days and one night at camp and en-joyed activities similar to summer camp.This yearexpanded the event to afull weekend and addeda Sunday church servicefor campers and theirfamilies.The camperopenings grew from 10to 20 each weekend anda total of 75 campersattended (with someattending more thanone session).
After their first weekend,Diane D. and the othergirls’ moms discussed thepossibility of theirdaughters coming to summer camp.“The one thing that helped me make the decision iswhen we checked in for Barn-A-Break in Februaryand the nurse said they have never had to call a
parent to come pick up their child because theywere homesick except once, and that was a sibling.”On the way back home the moms decided togo for it.
“They get so excited about going and, since they allcould go to summer camp together, it makes iteasier knowing they have people they already knowthere,” she shares.“We are just so blessed that
we live within reasonabledriving distance so thatKaitlyn and her friends canattend. We are alreadyplanning on this beinga yearly thing.”
For more information on the Barn-A-Breakprogram, e-mail [email protected],go to www.campbarnabas.org/barnabreak orcall Alyson Janacek at 417.476.2565.
“A Sabbath, that’s what Barn-A-Break is for me.I stop what I’m doing, I take this time out of mycrazy schedule, and I go and see that the Lord isGood. I am reminded of His Love, Desires andCare.The Lord takes me and my disconnectednessand, through Barn-A-Break, reconnects me tofull-time staff, summer staff, volunteers andcampers. I work, yes of course, but a job done forthe Lord, who can complain?
Mark H.Summer leadership staff and Barn-A-Break volunteer
Both he and Kyle were challenged in the camp setting.“Meeting the campers thefirst day or so, was the hardest part for me,” according to John.“because it wasmy first time at the camp and I really didn’t know what to expect.”
“The hardest thing for me,” Kyle says,“was learning to put my own selfish de-sires away and put the campers first. I admit there were times when I wished Icould have fun on the swing and do what I wanted, but then I realized why I wasthere - to give the campers the best experience of their life. Camp Barnabas is aplace where all those who have disabilities and are disadvantaged physically and
mentally are able to come together and not look at each other as different, butlook at each other as children of God. I think this is the message of Camp Barn-abas. The process of learning to connect spiritually and emotionally with thesecampers was an experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.”
John believes,“Everyone should experience the camp. For me, it really changedthe way I look at certain aspects of my life; there is no better satisfaction in theworld than helping those in need and putting a smile on their faces.”“We loved seeing Carley in the camp setting,” her parents said.“I think she felt

VOLUNTEERAND STAFF STATS
Without two very special groups of people, campwould never happen. Our CIA’s (Christian in Actionvolunteers) and our summer staff are the energy thatdrives our summer program. Ranging in age from 14through 29, these guys and gals spend 23 out of 24hours each day personally addressing the needs ofour campers.They make sure every moment of acamper’s stay is the best moment of that person’s life.Here are some things you should know about thesevital members of our 2008 team:
9 - Number of summer staff who have siblings whoare campers
17 - Number of states represented by summer staff
33 - Number of states represented by our CIA’s
50 - Over 50% of the summer staff served previouslyas a CIA
79 - Number of churches/organizations who broughtgroups to serve as CIA’s
128 - Number of summer staff
1,859 - Number of CIA’s
FOOD SERVICE
One of the most treasured areas of camp for thecampers and staff alike is the dining hall - both for theeating and the entertainment.
In the summer of 2008:
• 81,553 plates of food were served
•The dining hall budget for camp and staff week -$130,000
An average of 479 people were served at each meal.That took:
• 45 pounds of dried pasta usedfor one meal’s macaroni and cheese
• 110 pounds of ground beef to make lasagnafor one meal
• 890 hamburger patties served for each term’sopening night meal
• 190 pounds of brisket smoked for one meal
• An average of 60 gallons of tea or juice each mealplus gallons and gallons of water
• 1020 pigs in the blanket from scratch foreach closing day breakfast
• Around 435 popsicles daily during “freeze”
In addition to the summer demands, Director of foodservice/catering BillieWalters is coordinatingweddings at Camp Barnabas and organizingcommunity food events.These include banquets onsite and catering.The recent addition of the BrownBag Lunch gives the camp staff a chance to buildstronger community relationships, making anddelivering lunches to area businesses andorganizations.To pick Billie’s creative brain for aunique way to link camp and your organization,e-mail [email protected] or call her at417.476.2565.
a sense of accomplishment and she was more interested in interacting withthe campers than hanging around her family.They share a common bondand they understand one another whereas her able-bodied friends can’t‘really understand’.”
They were surprised at how organized everything was and the enthusiasm of theyoung volunteers, their willingness to participate and make everything runsmoothly.“Everything was possible for the campers,” Lisa says.
The family would soon learn first-hand howdeep that commitment runs for the summerstaff of camp.

Fiscal responsibility has always been essentialto the operation of Camp Barnabas.Everything is aimed at providing “the time oftheir lives” for each child who attends oursummer camp.Without buying food,maintaining our facilities and grounds,paying utilities and staffing our program,summer camp would never take place.We believe we have a strong balance ofexpenditures that allows us to focus ourefforts on a superior program supportedby professional year-round and summerstaff and, at the same time, preserve thefacilities and grounds we have been soblessed to enjoy.
- Paul Teas
But it was heavy on my heart and I asked my prayer partner and unit (other girlson summer staff) to pray about it. By the end of the week I had decided if Godwanted me to do it, He would make a way. But I wasn’t going to offer to workthere because that would be an awkward rejection and they (Carley’s family)wouldn’t want someone so young to work for them anyway.”
The week after camp was over, Callie was visiting her grandmother when shedecided to check her e-mail one day.“Carley’s mom had e-mailed me offeringme the job! I had never said anything to them, not even to Carley. I just knew
there was no way my overprotective mom would let me move to Baltimore,Maryland.” But Callie’s parents said yes and, on her 18th birthday, she went toBaltimore.“It’s weird. I love being home, I love my family.What possessed me tomove to Baltimore? I still don’t know. But I am so glad I did. God wanted me to.He planned for me to.
“It was really cool for Carley to have an aide who knew how awesome campwas.We talked about camp allllllll the time! One day I asked her,‘What did youtalk about before you went to camp?’ She got a really blank look on her face

and said,‘I have no idea.’ Camp has become Carley’s second home. She has madesome of her best friends there. She has spent three weeks of her life there andyou would never know it was that little time by the way she talks about it.
“That is how it is for everyone - you go to camp expecting a fun week.You leave camp having experienced Jesus in a whole new way. Having found yoursecond home. Having made some of the closest friends you’ll ever make. Havinglearned more about who you are. Camp Barnabas gives you the bestweek of your year.Thousands of people will agree with that.”

started with someone who imagined. Now couple
that with God who, according to Ephesians 3:20, can
do more than we can ask or imagine.
In a very real sense, that is what this “Making the
Difference” campaign is all about. God has launched
us on an incredible journey andOctober 5, 2008,
a new leg of our journey begins. With the birth of
Life Church, we are committing to the effort of
reaching this community and region for Christ and

As you read through the pages of this brochure,
take a moment to prayerfully imagine little
children coming to an awarenessof God’s
incredible love for them. Prayerfully imagine
what can happen when boys andgirls are
inf lu enced for the future. Prayerfully imagine
what God can do in the hearts of students who
will grow in their understandingof God’s purpose
for their lives through the MiLife and Inside Out
Student Ministries.
Prayerfully imagine a generationof world
changers who are passionate about
God and are enthusiastically committed
to carrying His Word to their generation.
Imagine families changed forever.
Imagine the possibilities... thereis no

The Nursery, Preschool & Elementary departments
of Life K ids has been blessed with nearly one
hundred children and continues to grow rapidly!
This year, we have been as creative as possible to
accommodate all of them in the most exciting and
inspiring spaces possible. As Life K ids continues to
“show kids God’s love and help kids love church,”
it is our desire to create a placewhere we can tell
hundreds more children about Him. That is
“making the difference... one life at a time!”

Since January, weekly attendance in Inside Out
& MiLife Student Ministries has doubled. This year
alone, 76 students have already made decisions for
Jesus Christ. That’s 24 first-time commitments and
52 recommitments!
If you ’ve been around the main sanctuary before
and after a Wednesday night service you ’ve seen
the foyer packed with teenagers and youth leaders.
It has become obvious that the teens deservea
worship space of their own. A place for teens to
hang, an exciting place for them to to invite their
unchurched friends to f ind Life!
Every single week, one student at a time,
Inside Out and MiLife Student Ministries are
“Making the Difference!”

F irst impressions make a lasting difference!
Seven minutes is all you get to make a positive f irst

with our church, our f irst time guests know whether

That’s before the f irst verse of a
worship song is sung and before a
single word of the message is
spoken. We want our guests to be
“wowed” from the f irst minute by
putting our best foot forward. That
means professional, informative
