summer camp 2026

“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬-‭18‬

Good fruit takes time to grow!!!!! This camp has been so developmental for me, coming in as a freshman in high school attending camp to now a college student on staff! Seeing my brother and sister experience camp and walk in the fullness of generational curses broken over our family was a GIFT I can’t thank God enough for. Getting to serve alongside my people and learn from my team was so incredibly special, I’m forever thankful for student ministry and how the Lord uses us to pursue HIS ONE. The seen is transient, moments of hardship became light and momentary affliction when the grand scheme, the unseen, is ETERNAL! Thank you Jesus for camp! by @avacricks

My fourth year on mission and my first year as a leader. This trip was a culmination of everything I’ve learned and God still had so much more to teach and prune. This year was stretching, it challenged me and the Lord was so sweet to meet me in every single second of it. In all the hardship, God provided manna in the form of these students. Getting to serve them was an honor and Im grateful the Lord gave me eyes to witness not only how He worked in me but also in them. I will never get over the Lords love for the nations, how He can use high school students to reach His people. I feel so encouraged by their willingness and humility.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

The immeasurably more …

“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬-‭19‬ ‭

I am completely undone by what the Lord did in Zambia. I have been wrecked by a true understanding of the gospel and how God carries it out through the great commission. The ministry, the people, the team, the worship, the quiet time, all interwoven to make this trip what it was and that is nothing short of a marking experience. One of my leaders said to me, “some of you won’t be able to shake this trip or what you’ve seen and experienced here” and she couldn’t have been more true. The power of the Holy Spirit was evident in the lives of the Zambian people, as God revealed to me how He pursues the one. I’m so grateful for the exposure, that God is continuously using these trips to humble me and bring me closer to the feet of Jesus. I’m so eager to share about this trip and the work entrusted with this incredible team so please reach out! Thank you Jesus for one of the sweetest experiences of my life. @africafreedommission

“Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”

The most amazing two weeks!! Gods presence in Kenya is so beautiful and the people radiate the love and hope of Jesus. We had the privilege of partnering with @410bridge to put on a camp for 7th and 8th graders, work in the community, and show the people of Ulu and Tumu Tumu how God has impacted us. So grateful for this team and Gods faithful love over Africa, I can’t wait to come back 🫶🇰🇪 taken in Kenya by @avacricks
