KORY SIKSTROM
My name is Kory Sikstrom, my camp name is Summit, and I am SO EXCITED to be the Executive Director at Camp Silversides!
I still remember the exact place I was sitting at Camp Silversides in 1997, when that first camper prayed to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior! I could not believe that God had used me in helping another person find Him and give their life to Him. I still can't fully understand how life has unfolded from that moment, but the direction of my life changed drastically.
I returned to college after that summer but knew chemistry was no longer for me. By early January I was on the plane for my first mission trip, discovering God's heart for the world, and learning about the ways God is at work in the world. I returned home and enrolled in Bible college where I met my awesome wife Erin. We will have been married for 20 years next fall. My ministry life took me to work with the Mustard Seed in Calgary, then the Red Cross in Disaster management, and finally as a young family we moved to Romania to serve students in the city of Craiova for many years. Returning to Canada in 2018 I have had challenges and blessings including the close connection with family and the chance to work on a Master's at Fuller Theological Seminary.
Our family grew with Rachel (15) and Naomi (13). Two amazing girls that keep life fun, exciting, and ever changing. We love being a family on mission together and one of the greatest answers to prayer with this role, was the calling on all of us to come and serve at Camp Silversides. This isn't just my job, it is OUR calling!
