Camps 2011 declared a “resounding success”!

Camps 2011 declared a “resounding success”! And the Church is deeply grateful to the Leaders, the Chaplains and the many other volunteers, including two young men form the Church in Jamaica, who assisted in teaching, supervision and so many other ways. This year’s Coordinator for both Camps, Mrs. Casandra Morris, reported that: “Our camps main goals and objectives were: Helping young people and children become aware of God’s seeking love as shown especially in Jesus Christ and respond in faith and love; Bringing lives to Christ through commitments or re-commitments; Encouraging young people in their faith and growth in the ministry; Developing a programme that was fun filled, with spiritual activities including praise and worship, bible time, outings, discussions, creative activities and sports; Integrating a music programme with positive role model leadership that encouraged the kids to praise God at all times with positive Christian music. The 2011 Camp Ministry theme was “Praise Party: Worshiping God with Head, Heart, Hands, Feet and Soul”. Our main Bible verse “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly...and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to GOD. (Colossians 3:16).

Out of the 27 campers that attended Teens Camp, 19 campers committed or recommitted their lives to Christ. For Children’s Camp 25 campers out of 38 committed or recommitted their lives."
