On December 21 we will present Royal Family Kids’ Camp to the congregation of Chicago Embassy Church at 59th Street and the Dan Ryan Expressway. Founding Pastor, Bishop Ed Peecher is a former Black Panther and a former AT&T executive.

           From this church’s inception as a lunch time Bible study in the downtown offices of AT&T to it’s current location in a historic 113-year old cathedral building, it continues to be a cutting edge church.

          Part of their mission is to train leaders to do the work of God in every strata of culture here in Chicago and around the world. What a great home to birth Chicago’s next RFKC!

         A year ago Marlene and I introduced Royal Family Kids’ Camps to Heartland Community Church in Decatur, Illinois. Macon County, home of Heartland, has an alarmingly high rate of child abuse. By comparison, in our home County of Cook (Chicagoland) the rate of reported abuse to child population is 24 per 1000. Macon County’s is nearly double.

          Marlene and I were invited to become a part of the church’s Missions Convention in October. We shared with folks at a banquet on Saturday and in two church services on Sunday. By the time the weekend was complete thirty people signed up to be a part of the camp staff.

          Joe and Angela have first-hand experience with RFKC. As former staff members of the Stone Church they have seen the impact on all involved. The adults who served on RFKC staff are some of the most dedicated people in the church.
