Kristen Coltart has been our acting director for over 7 years. She and her family have been actively involved for over 12 years. Prior to becoming the Director, Kristen served on our Prayer Council and our Management Team. she has also served in various roles such as camp program director, Bible teacher, pop shop coordinator, cleaning committee, kitchen staff, dining room hostess, and as a general volunteer. Kristen with the support of her husband, Philip, has been commissioned into greater service at peniel as the executive director. We would like to share her vision for Peniel:
“My vision for Peniel and Camp Encounter is to start something new and fresh that meets the current needs of youth in our fast paced, modern culture. My desire is for the camp to present the Salvation of Christ and teach the Word of God in a fun, non-threatening environment. My hope is that through real relationship, and a community built on trust, campers will let down their protective walls and allow the Holy Spirit to divinely minister to their deeper needs. I also envision Peniel as a place for adults to meet God face to face, as churches and groups make use of our beautiful grounds to minister to their people".
