Rochelle Yoder, Food Service Manager
rochelle@campluz.com
Rochelle has a background in practical nursing, and it was through being asked to be on the 1993 summer staff in the nursing position that she became acquainted with the ministry at Camp Luz. After working several positions, including counselor and cooking, during three summer programs, she was asked to stay on to help with year-round food service. In 1997, she received her food service manager's certificate.
While at Rosedal Bible Institute, Rochelle felt called into some area of mission work and was more drawn to local missions. When the opportunity to serve at Camp Luz was offered, she first saw it as a job, but very quickly saw the ministry aspect and was open to serving there long term. Over the years of watching youth grow up and grow in the Lord and now sending the next generation to Camp has been a highlight for her.
A passage of scripture that has been a help and reminder is Isaiah 41:9-10. When not in the kitchen, she enjoys crocheting, reading, and visiting coffee shops.
