Melaad Zareaie - Camp Director SpringHill Indiana

An Experience With SpringHill, An Encounter With God...


Introducing — your Indiana Camp Director — Melaad! New to SpringHill but not to Christian camping ministry, Melaad Zareaie is excitedly stepping into his Indiana Overnight Camp Director role with SpringHill. 
 
Melaad's interest in ministry work stems from his own, personal experience of feeling seen and being known in a camp environment. "Someone remembered my name when I came to volunteer at a YoungLife Camp, Lake Champion," Melaad recounts. "He was the Food Service Manager and was willing to spend his time in the kitchen getting to know me and my story. He was doing ministry with the space and tools he was given. The most impactful thing about the gentleman was the hospitality he extended, and how I felt as he listened and shared the gospel with me through his actions."
 
What started as Melaad being ministered to, has cultivated over the years into this current opportunity to partner with SpringHill and minister to others at SpringHill's property in Seymour, Indiana. 
 
It's evident Melaad has a big heart for the camping ministry work he's embarked upon. "I so desperately want everyone who steps on camp to have an encounter with God, wherever they are in their relationship with Him. I believe the experience of radical hospitality, adventure and play, scriptural teachings, and relationships are all avenues God uses to reveal Himself. The Lord will do miraculous things here, and the glory is His alone!"
 

 

"There's a new season here, and I'm excited to invite people into it."
