The vision of TNLC is to change the world. This vision is realized in the context of relationships and community. Every place we find ourselves in this world, locally or globally, is because of relationships. Relationships, that together, we believe God can use to change the world. 
Frederick Buechner writes, "the place God calls you is the place where yourdeep gladness meets the world's deep hunger." You can't do everything, but you can do something. The question is, what is the something you can do?

We are relationally connected to these people and projects; they are our friends and a part of our community. Each relationship listed has a point of contact that is connected to both TNL and the partnering organization. Contact them, ask them questions and together find the something you can do to change the world.

For more information about how TNL connects to individuals and organizations please email Jared Mackey.

Royal Family Kids Camp
www.denver.rfkc.org

Royal Family Kids’ Camp is the nation’s leading network of camps for overlooked and unseen children. RFKC offers a week of residential summer camp for children, ages six through eleven, who are in contact with social services, and in most cases, are in foster care.

Royal Family is, for many, the first time they are shown positive attention and affection. The week of camp is a tangible expression of God’s love for them as every child is connected to a counselor and staff at a one-to-one ratio. Over 20 staff and counselors give a week to make a difference in these children’s lives.

If you are interested in going to RFKC as a counselor or staff, supporting RFKC financially, or want more information please contact one of the TNL - RFKC Team Leaders.
