Read MoreCelebrating God’s Faithfulness in 2024: A Year of Impact and Growth at Tuscarora
Read MoreFor years the summer youth camps at Tuscarora Inn & Conference Center have been a central part of our ministry. During the summer months, relationships with Christ are created, grown, and renewed. It’s no surprise that many of our life-long guests, volunteers, and supporters start their journeys during Junior Week or Teen Week. God speaks to many in this camp setting, away from the distractions of everyday life.
Per Rune Larsen was a remarkable young man who attended Junior Week and Teen Week in the early part of his life. These programs made such an impact on him that he chose to come back and serve as a counselor and as a teen on summer staff.
His life was full of faith and passion for Christ and he felt driven to share the gospel with others. But his life was cut short following a battle with cancer. Because of the impression his life and ministry made on the friends and family around him his legacy has continued to live on through the Per Rune Larsen Scholarship Fund.
The Per Rune Larsen Scholarship Fund, in partnership with the Sal Schippers Scholarship Fund, makes it possible for children to attend Junior Week and Teen Week who would not otherwise have the ability to do so. The need for financial support has grown since this fund was established. In 2024, 79 students received over $19,000 in support. While the fund is nearly depleted each year, faithful donors have always helped us meet the need and minister to as many children as possible.
Over 500 children experienced Junior Week and Teen Week this past summer. They experienced fun and friendship in a Christ-centered gospel filled week. The experience at Junior Week and Teen Week can be life-changing and these programs are at the heart of the ministry Tuscarora provides. Each year we know that God brings those children who need most to hear His voice onto our grounds.
Per Rune’s mother, Josse Larsen, passed away on August 20, 2024 but her memory also lives on through this fund established in her son’s memory.
If you are a parent whose child experienced one of our camp programs this summer, an adult who sees how their life has been changed by the Junior Week or Teen Week ministries, or someone who wants to honor the memory of Per Rune and Josse Larsen and the impact made on your life please consider making a gift to the Scholarship Fund by visiting our website.
On Sunday, June 9, 2024 a service was held to celebrate the life of Herb Jacobsen, a beloved member of the Tuscarora Staff family. Herb served as the Executive Director of Tuscarora from 1975-2005 and continued to serve on the Board of Directors until 2021. His faithfulness, dedication, and wisdom were instrumental to the growth of the ministry of Tuscarora.
The Celebration of Life program can be viewed here and the service can be viewed here.
The family has requested memorial gifts be made to Tuscarora (make a gift here) or Mount Bethel Church.
May God bless the memory of Herb Jacobsen.
