Regional Training Events

Traditionally RFK has done a large annual Leadership training for all of our camps and clubs in So. Cal. around the first of March.

This year we have taken on the ambitious plan of doing 4 Regional training events to make better connections with more local volunteers.

It's a lot of work and more travel, but it gets us out into the local world of our volunteers and brings us into deeper relationship with those who are so passionate to serve the kids, our volunteers.

This year we started our first Regional Event in Irvine, CA. and then we are off to: Portland, Chicago, and Kansas.

Crazy busy, but making things happen.

 Here I am with a group I was training on how to keep your Camp and Club training fresh each year.

 Here is the group that drove down from Concord.  A great Leadership team!

Here is a shot of the whole group, about 150 people from all over CA. and even some who flew in from TX. AL. CO. KS and AK.

2013 Donor Report

Jeff and Janet’s Donor Report - 2013

Looking back to 2013, we see another year of encouragement to our hearts and souls from the support of so many people who believe in us and the mission of Royal Family KIDS.   Last year, Janet and I had 81 different donors, down from 101 in 2012.  That’s a 20% decrease in donors, but the budget only decreased by 12%.  We remain encouraged and optimistic about God’s plan for us at RFK, and the great things that are happening this year.

We are so encouraged to know that people have said, “Jeff and Janet, we believe in you and what you are doing, here’s my part to help.”  

Thank you for entrusting us with your prayer and support.  We have been investing them into the lives of children around America and around the world.

Our budget goals for 2013:

1) Add or renew 15 donors to our support team 

2) Budget at 100%.

We accomplished a lot in 2013 with your help:  a lot of travel, phone calls, meetings, emails and training.  What does it all add up to?  Our Lancaster, CA camp recently asked a former camper what they remembered about camp.  The former camper responded, “The most important thing that happened at camp was that someone listened.”  Another camper from Michigan stepped off the bus onto a red carpet, raised his hands and said, “I’ve been waiting all year for this!”  You have been a part of all of the great stories from 2013 and beyond.

Who knows how many more life-changing experiences have been taking place because of your support!

We always want to stay connected.  If there is anything we can do for you in prayer or in a phone call, please let us know.  We’d love to see you in person whenever we’re nearby.
