We can’t believe camp was a WHOLE month ago. But what happens at camp doesn’t stay at camp!

Testify table is an example of that, a small look into how God has been moving through each moment, each time we worshipped, each speaker that shared in BigTop, and each moment you connected with your friends, leaders, and youth group.

One powerful thing you can do now that you’re back into your usual life is to share your testimony whether its at school or around the dinner table, to a friend, a parent or even your younger sibling. Remember these three steps of sharing your testimony

1. Before - What was life like before camp?
2. During - What was happening during camp?
3. After - How is your life different now?

Have a watch of these video to be reminded of how God was changing lives at Eastercamp. ❤️

📮Welcome to Letters from Campers!

At camp we had a letterbox, where each day had a new prompt to invite campers to consider how they can dive deeper into the Easter story.

Here’s the responses from the day of Jesus’s crucifixion where we asked what does Jesus’ Death mean for you? 📝
