Yes! It’s time for camp!
Dear Friends,
Christian Education Ministries is
committed to make sure that we
provide the best summer camps
available for our Junior Highs
and Senior Highs. We have a
great planning team that has worked hard to
make sure these conferences are fun as well as
spiritually enriching.
Please be sure to get this information to some-
one who will be motivated to get your youth to
these great conference.
I strongly encourage you to take a week off from
work and make an IMPACT with the youth from
your church.
E. Brent Turner
Executive Director
Can you believe it, it is time to start think-
ing about summer camps and conferences.
While it is still cold outside it will not be
long before it that cold turns to warmth. And
warmer days means youth conferences.
The Horizon (Senior High) and Quest
(Middle School) conferences serve two purposes. First, the
conferences serve the purpose of helping young people
come to an initial knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savoir. If a young person has not made a profession of faith
in Jesus Christ, the conferences will provide the opportunity
for youth to hear the gospel. Paul says in Romans 10:17-
“Faith comes from hearing the message and the message is
heard through the word of Christ.” The second purpose of
the conferences is to disciple young people who are already
believers. 2 Peter 3:18 states, “But grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ.” This knowl-
edge is the ever-deepening experience of Christ and under-
standing of his truth that should characterize the entire
course of a believers’ life.
Though the weather may still be cold, I hope you will begin
to think of summer and youth conferences at Bonclarken. I
hope you will be with us this summer so that, through the
Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God will advance in the lives of
our young people.
