Dear Compass Checkers,

To give credit where it is due, “Compass Checkers” is the creation of our new managing editor for Compass Check, Kourtney Kovanis. I needed help with the editorial flow of articles, and Kourtney graciously volunteered, which is a huge blessing for me and for this magazine. Kourtney grew up in God’s Church and attended Northwest Camp for many years. She works as an editor in San Francisco, where she and her husband live. I now move to the role of editor, which means I can devote more time to working with our writers. Mitch Moss, who is our fantastic graphic designer, is also now the assignment editor. This means Mitch will be working with writers in developing new articles that are helpful to you. And yet another update: Robert Curry is our new associate editor. He will help Kourtney with the editorial flow of articles.

Please enjoy our winter issue, which features a variety of meaty articles for your reading pleasure. Let me know your suggestions for new articles, and, as always, keep turning your spiritual compass toward God.

Your camp friend,

Steve Nutzman

Editor
