Camp 2008
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:8-9

Why Camp?
DiscipleMakers' May Camps are a provision from God to help you become effective and productive in your walk with the Lord. Camp provides an opportunity for you to spend a week in community, and under the ministry of the Word, to help you grow in knowledge of the gospel, and to gain valuable training. As you know the Lord better, you will be able to serve Him better on your campus and for years to come.
Building God's Kingdom on Campus, One Life at a Time.
The Scriptures again and again call us to the highest level of commitment, as well as the greatest task ever given on earth - building God's kingdom. In fact, it's the same task in which Jesus invested himself during His earthly ministry: "I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18). But often, in the face of the task and the commission, we lose steam. We are prone to lose heart, and get easily discouraged. Or we lose focus, spending time on those things which, in the end, will bear very little fruit for Christ. Or, after a year of investing ourselves in others, we are tired and need refreshment.
The week at camp will be a week of immersion in the Word. Our desire is that you be equipped, renewed, recharged, and refocused! Through a variety of forums - large group expositions, workshops, small groups, corporate worship, private devotions - we want to help you meet with God and be strengthened and challenged to join more fully in the task of building His kingdom.
This camp is open to anyone who wants to grow in Christ-likeness. If your desire is to build God's kingdom, one life at a time, please join us. It will change your life, and will equip you to change the lives of those around you!
Have you ever found reading the Bible difficult or unenjoyable? Have you ever found the Scriptures hard to understand? While the Bible does call us to focused study, it is a refreshing truth to realize that at the heart of the Scriptures is not a boring principle, but an exciting, living and active person!
This
track will focus on unpacking the Scriptures with OIA - careful observation, thoughtful interpretation and personal application. Join us as we encounter the real Jesus in the gospel of Matthew and see Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of all of life's
anticipation and the person in whom all
wisdom and truth is found.
Track II – Growing as a Disciple-Maker
What does it mean to follow Jesus? Christ's agenda for our lives is clear: He wanted everything. Jesus sought those who not only confessed his Lordship, but those who were genuine disciples – people whose hearts were captivated, whose lives were radically transformed; people who would impact the world.
This track will center on developing a ministry that ministers to the heart in a way that is Word-driven and gospel-focused. We will focus on Matthew's gospel to see how Jesus ministered to, recruited and equipped people to be disciples and disciple-makers.

Extravaganza Night!
Themed Skits - The theme of our skits will be Evangelism: Wonders and Blunders. Each school is encouraged to come up with a skit highlighting their greatest triumphs and folly’s during their outreach this past year. They can be funny, inspiring, or both. Each school will be encouraged to give a one minute explanation before or after explaining how God worked and what they learned if it is not clear in the skit. These should tie in music as well if possible.
