James and Barbi Wheaton
James and Barbi Wheaton are staff appointees currently raising deputized financial and prayer support. When they reach their financial goal they will move to camp to join full time staff. Once at camp James will be working as Program director alongside Naomi Sponable. Barbi will be heading up the craft shop and mall. They have two children; Blake (8), and Sybil (6).
Todd March & Family
Todd March is the newest addition to our full-time staff here at PVBC. He spent time last summer working on building projects and helping in the kitchen. Being obedient to God’s leading, Todd’s desire is to fill the Maintenance Supervisor position that has been vacant for some time. The process now is to establish a team to help support this endeavor. Todd and his family are looking for prayer warriors, as they know serving God in any ministry is not without trials. Todd is responsible for raising deputized financial support as a representative of PVBC. Once that funding goal has been met, Todd can begin his full-time service here at camp.
Hannah Scott
Hannah Scott, a “new” addition to PVBC, has worked in children's ministry in her home church and surrounding community in Northern Indiana. She volunteered at PVBC with her youth group in 2021 & 2022 and then returned as a counselor during summer camp in 2022 & 2023. During her time as a camp counselor, she experienced God’s call in her life to serve in a 1-year internship where she is focusing her attention and talents on the many tasks that go on in the camp office.
