To support our mission of, "Equipping YHWH's people for the restoration of all things," the MIA will be establishing a yeshiva at Old Path's Assembly in Lucerne Valley California. This will be a house of study and retreat center focused on training up leaders and equipping all of Israel. One of our goals for this current year is to establish the infrastructure for this center.

Located on thirty acres in the high dessert in southern California, this facility is a wonderful place to study His Word and prepare His people. We are thrilled that Allen and Roberta Stanfield have offered their property for this Kingdom purpose. There are currently several houses, a worship center, industrial kitchen, recreational facilities, and a stocked pond on this property (among other surprises)!

So... what is Camp Yeshiva? It is a summer camp for the young men of the MIA (ages 17-24). These volunteers will be working on maintenance and landscaping projects around the facility preparing it for the Yeshiva and Sukkot. They will be given housing, food, and fellowship in exchange for some labor and laughter. They will also be given some very useful instruction.

In the afternoons these young men will be instructed in wilderness survival techniques by experts Allen Stanfield and Ya'akov Rice. They will also participate in Hebrew language studies every day.

Camp Yeshiva will run from June 20 - 30, 2005. This unique "camp" is an opportunity for young men to contribute in a meaningful manner to the mission of the MIA and the needs of His people. They will experience wonderful fellowship while making a lasting contribution to His Kingdom.

Allen and Roberta Stanfield along with Ya'akov and Valerie Rice will be leading the camp. These faithful friends will watch over the youth while bringing out the best in all involved through their joyful spirits and the light of Y'shua.

This first camp will be limited to ten young men. These young men will be carefully selected from all who apply. There will be a later opportunity for young ladies to contribute as well!

Let's see what the YMIA can do! It is a wonderful thing to watch the next generation rise up and take charge.
