August & September ✨

I was taught that God cares deeply about justice, holiness, and how we treat people who are vulnerable or easily overlooked.

Holiness isn’t just about what we avoid doing. It’s also about how we love, protect, honor, and advocate for the people God places around us.

The Shepard was Good to me! 🐑

I pray that we never let being different become difficult. That we don’t allow the enemy to distract us from the difference God has already made, and the difference He will continue to make.

The Lord provides a peace that meets us when we are in pieces, over and over again. He is always ready to restore, leaving us in awe of His abundance.

Thank you Lord, for the green pastures you have provided and for the ones you will continue to faithfully lead us to. You are our Good Shepherd. 🐑✝️ #pslams23 #fuge #jesus

We're told when we start working camp that one of the most important things that we can do is love on every students and adult who walks on campus. To make a safe place for them so that for one week they don't have to worry about everything that goes on back home but give it all to the Good Father.

What we don't always realize is that while doing this for the people we only get to see for a week, that's the environment that we set up for each other for the whole summer. And that's what this staff became for each other, a safe place that we could walk through everything with, through the valleys and the mountain top experiences, and that we could lean on cause they always pointed us back to the one who made everything happen this summer as it should have.

Being placed on a staff this large was something that I worried about until I stepped foot on the mountain, or the airport for some of my peeps, and actually got to meet the people the Lord had brought together for two months over the summer and any worry I had disappeared. I've cried, I've laughed, I've danced, I've walked more steps than I can count, and I've gotten to make so many memories and start so many relationships that I pray to God everyday won't end now that camp is over.

Thank you to my staff, to my directors, to my people. Thank you to God for giving me the blessing to be able to learn and love on and be loved on each and every person who I got to be able to work with this summer and I can't wait to see how y'all continue growing in whatever site the Lord as placed you in this season of life.

Know that I will always call y'all my sheep and I am very glad to be apart of y'alls flock🐑

1 John 4:16 "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever live in love lives in God, and God in them."

“Rejoice in the LORD always! I will say it again: Rejoice!”

What a privilege it has been to be exhausted for the gospel @fuge_ngu this summer! I got to spend the whole summer with staff, students, and adult leaders from all over. Thank you guys for this summer!!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Words can’t describe how grateful I am with the opportunity I had to serve this summer. God truly worked in so much indescribable ways. I got to see students come into camp with a overwhelming need for something. That something was Jesus. I got to see God change lives and hearts left and right. I got to see kids experience a powerful peace a peace that could only come from Jesus, one that surpasses all understanding. I got to see broken lives, restored by the blood of Jesus. I got to see students with so much baggage and weariness, and brokenness, lay everything at the foot of the cross and rest in His presence. I saw hundreds and hundreds of kids receive the abundant life that Jesus freely offers us. Lives were changed, broken people were restored. This is all because of a loving Creator who had a plan for His children. The Good Shepherd.

75 days. 75 straight days of seeing the Lord faithfully change lives through the power of the Gospel. Thousands of students heard the good news that He is the good peace, He’s the good presence, and that He is the good restoration. Every changed heart, every surrendered life, and every moment of hope points back to the one and most important Person…The VERY, VERY, VERY Good Shepherd. 🐑

To my 57 brothers and sisters, thank you. Thank you for becoming the BEST FAMILY I could have ever asked for. Thank you for every laugh, every prayer, every conversation, and every memory. Y’all made this a summer I’ll never forget. As we head home, remember this, the mission on the mountain may be finished, but the mission as a whole isn’t. It doesn’t stop on that rec field, at that site, or in that auditorium… it goes home with every single one of us. Carry the same fire you left with. Love everyone well. Live boldly for Jesus. Be unashamed of the Gospel, and
DON’T BE AFRAID TO BE DIFFERENT.

I’m so beyond PROUD OF YALL and I LOVE YALL!
Love, Reh Directa Noah ❤️
Now go make hell mad... and go make Heaven crowded!!

Fuge 2026 is at its end. I’d like to thank every single person on the RCC Fuge ‘26 staff for being amazing friends, I wish I got pictures with everyone and that I could tag everyone (curse you 20 person limit). Fuge is very fun but ultimately it’s about the Lord and what He does for us.

Following the Good Shepherd, aka our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is ultimately for our good because he leads us along the right paths for His name. We have to choose to follow that path and to go after Him and Him alone, or else we fall victim to the cycle of clawing ourselves up in our own strength (which never works). He provides rest and peace that goes beyond what we know, and he invites us to find it in Him.

And there’s not much more to say besides: huzzah!
