Baptist Youth Camp
2024
Noah Manship-
Director
Noah grew up between French Lick and Marengo, IN. This will be be my wife's and I's fourth year as staff at camp and first year being director. Noah's favorite part of camp is seeing kids find out who Jesus is and what Jesus is about as well as getting to worship Jesus together as one.
My interest in ministry started when I was 10 after my stepdad had a horrible accident and nearly died. The church and local community came together to help support our family, and I knew then I wanted to help people when they were most in need. I accepted Jesus at a conference in Cincinnati, Ohio when I was 12. I began preaching and teaching at various churches when I was 16. The race track ministry began for me after attending a race in 2017 and seeing a need for the drivers and crews. I currently pastor full time at Faith Fellowship Church in Hidalgo, IL. My wife Shelby and I started a racing, music, and food outreach called Amazing GRace Ministries in 2022. I am the track chaplain for Charleston Speedway in Charleston, IL.
