Every year, we work hard to ensure that all our youth can attend a camp, but to make this possible, we need committed sponsors to join this mission. Through your donations and support, we can ensure that no young people is left behind and that each one has the chance to experience God’s love in a unique way. Philippians 2:4 reminds us: "Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others." Our calling is to care for these young people and provide them with the opportunity to grow spiritually in a safe environment filled with the love of Christ.
During these camps, every young person gets the chance to have special moments with God through games, arts and crafts, team-building activities, worship, and powerful messages. It's not just about fun—it’s an experience that leaves a lasting impact. Many of the attendees come from broken homes where they have never heard about God’s unconditional love. These camps allow them to experience that love firsthand and realize their worth, knowing that God has a purpose for them. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Our goal is for every young person to leave camp with the assurance that God has a plan for their life and the desire to follow Him.
One of the biggest impacts we have seen in these camps is how young people find hope and direction for their lives. Many arrive carrying emotional wounds, feeling alone or without purpose, but when they are surrounded by people who show them Christ’s love, they begin to heal. In moments of worship and reflection, they have the opportunity to open their hearts and surrender their burdens to God. Matthew 11:28 says: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." It is amazing to see how God’s presence transforms their hearts and fills them with peace.
Beyond the spiritual aspect, these camps are also a powerful tool to keep young people away from harmful environments. In their communities, many face the temptation of joining gangs, using drugs, or engaging in destructive behaviors. However, at camp, they find a safe space where they can be themselves, build meaningful friendships, and receive guidance from Christian leaders who help them stay on the right path. Proverbs 22:6 encourages us: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it." Our goal is to plant seeds in their hearts so that, even after returning to their communities, they remember what they have learned and continue walking with God.
Our mission is to raise up Christian leaders in their communities and encourage them to become part of a local church. We don’t want their encounter with God to end at camp—we want it to be the beginning of a personal and ongoing relationship with Him. We want these young people to become a light in their homes, sharing with their families what they have learned and inspiring others to seek God. As Matthew 5:14 says: "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." We are preparing young people to be a positive influence and to reflect God’s love in their surroundings.
But to make this possible, we need your help. We invite you to be part of this mission to bring more young people to camp. With your support, we can cover transportation, food, materials, and all the activities that make this camp an unforgettable experience. Your generosity can change lives and open doors for more young people to know Christ.
If God has placed the desire in your heart to help, we encourage you to join us. Whether as a sponsor, a volunteer, or through prayer, your support is essential in bringing hope to this generation. Young people need people who believe in them, who support them, and who show them God’s love in action.
Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can take these young people to a camp where they will experience God’s love, receive hope for their future, and find a greater purpose in their lives. We invite you to be part of this beautiful mission and allow God to use you to impact the next generation. We are counting on you!
