Dear IYC (Iowa Youth Connection) member,

My name is Byron Fitchpatric and I’m an Assistant Pastor and new Youth Pastor at Cornerstone Family Church in Des Moines, IA. I’m also the new president of IYC. It is my privilege to serve in this capacity and I commit to making sure IYC does not miss a beat. Plans for the 2009 Summer Camp are being made. I apologize for the delay but assure you that all is well and moving in the right direction. Pastor Josh Carmody of New Covenant Christian Church in Ft. Dodge and Diane Borders of Word of Life in Rock Island has been diligently working with me in planning the camp. Here are statements from them.

I am really excited about what God is doing through IYC this year.  IYC has had many changes over the last couple of years, but I am looking forward to the NEXT season that God has in store for IYC and for all of us!  Byron is doing an excellent job as president and the board is working together to bring you an awesome IYC camp this summer!  Mark Rempel will be back and my prayer is that you will be too!

Pastor Josh Carmody

As a 30 year veteran of youth ministry, I can honestly say that my involvement with IYC for the last 10 years has been a highlight.   I continue to be excited about the vision, leadership, and integrity of the team that makes summer camp a top notch opportunity with such spiritual depth for our youth. I can't wait to see what's NEXT.

Diane Borders

Camp will return to Drake University and the dates are June 26-29 and it’s for students who have completed 6th-12th grades. The cost is $200 due by June 8th and Mark Rempel, the special speaker from last year is returning for this year. We welcome you to join us this year as we embark on “NEXT”, the theme for this year’s camp. I’m excited to get to know you and your students and look forward to a bright future together. God Bless.

Sincerely,

Byron Fitchpatric
