We got to celebrate our eternal joy this year at Camp Jackson. We also witnessed extreme growth in some of our youth. What's better than growing in the safety of God's people?

Another reflection from one of our staffers, Jessica Barrett.

"Reflecting on Camp Jackson, it’s impossible to not see the Lords hand in it. What started as a small dream that God placed in the heart of Nicholas, turned into an incredible, tangible experience that touched the lives of so many. I think about these campers and the opportunity they were given this week to hear that they are loved, seen, and known by our Savior. I think about the seed of the Gospel that was planted in the hearts of the children at camp, and how for some, this was their first personal encounter with the greatest news their ears will ever hear.

We played, we laughed, and we had a good time. But most of all, children walked away knowing more about their identity in Christ than they knew before. I don’t know what could be better than that!"

Go pink pearls!

A reflection from our staffer and student missionary trainer, Hayden Rowell.

"camp jackson, oh what a week.
where do I start?
I learned so much. From patience to perspective, He changed my attitude and my heart behind the ministry I love so much.
I learned that Jesus aches for the hearts of broken children. This is a concept I knew before but had no idea how to wrap my head around, until camp was over and I cried for the souls of the lost children I feel in love with. Jesus’ heart for us is so deep. His mercy and grace He floods us with, every morning.
I knew this before, but during camp, that mercy flowed out of me onto others, not by my strength, but by his.
I learned that having fun and laughing with children is the most joyful thing! I also learned that basketball is not my gift, and that is okay. I’m really awful at it, and 9 year old boys proved that.
Camp Jackson was so beautiful and life changing. Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with new relationships with the sweetest kids.
Here’s to next year:) "

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:19‭-‬21 ESV

You are valuable!

A reflection from Courtney Derricks one of our Camp Jackson staff about last week and preparing for camp.

"I still cannot believe that we just finished up year one of Camp Jackson!! Honestly, it is still pretty hard to put into words how God moved throughout the week. A few months ago, Nicholas asked me to be apart of fundraising, and I immediately got to work!! It was really amazing to see the people who didn't hesitate to give. As time got closer, he asked me to start recruiting. This one was hard for me to do, but we were steadily reminded that God had already lined up everyone that He wanted to be there!! Two weeks before camp started, me and my brother was asked to lead worship for campers. I give all of that background information to simply say that from the very beginning God had His hands on the camp.
As I look back over the week, it was a tough week spiritually. Satan definitely tried to stop us from doing the work that we knew we were supposed to be doing, but everyone had so much love for the campers that we kept pressing through. Of course, I wanted to see the campers lives change, but I found it to be a huge victory to see how much the student missionaries grew in just one week. One of the student missionaries said, "this was the best week of my life." This was the same student missionary that gave up a drum camp to come serve God. Camp Jackson is about the campers, but we also strove to pour into the student missionaries also!!"

Courtney played a huge role in making this camp possible, so we are very thankful for him.
