Jason Blight’s Resignation
Dear Friends of Miracle Bible Camp,
It has been a blessing getting to know the people, churches, volunteers, and supporters of Miracle Bible Camp. Our family has felt supported, encouraged, and prayed for by many as we have endeavored to lead this important ministry for God’s glory. I have loved the hospitality, service, and spiritual teaching aspects of the ministry. These are the areas in which most people see me serving and using my gifts while visiting camp. Therefore, it may come as a surprise to learn about changes to come.
There is a large behind-the-scenes side to camp directing involving administrative, legal, and financial details that must be done to keep the organization running smoothly. These areas are consuming the majority of my time and I do not believe that these are the areas in which I am gifted or passionate to serve. It is not that I cannot do them or that they are not important. These are not the aspects of ministry in which I feel called, passionate, or have been trained. As a result of this reflection and much prayer I will be resigning as the director of Miracle Bible Camp effective June 19th, 2026.
I desire to transition in the best way possible and have been working with the camp board as they develop an interim plan to lead Miracle Bible Camp and search for a new person to serve as director.
This summer we have a great staff coming together with Eric Anderson, a pastor in Crosby, as our interim program director. Lauren Card will be managing the kitchen. Beth Noordmans will be handling registrations and communications. Brady Davis will be assisting with programming. Jeremy Lassen will be taking care of the facility. We have 5 female counselors and 4 male counselors preparing for a great summer of ministry.
In Christ,
Jason Blight
