Mission
& Objectives |
What would it have been like to meet Jesus? The gospels provide a variety of accounts of those who encountered Jesus during his lifetime. Some reacted negatively, actively seeking to stop his ministry. Others had no reaction, choosing to ignore him or walk away. But for many others, their encounter with Jesus was a breakthrough—a transforming experience that changed their way of seeing God, themselves, and the world around them. As Jesus journeyed through villages, along lakesides, and down dusty roads, his life intersected with the lives of a variety of people, many who had experienced oppression, neglect, sickness, prejudice, and/or pain. And yet in story after story, the gospel writers portray encounters with Jesus that tear down walls of prejudice, offer release from bondage, provide loving attention to the forgotten, and give healing to the sick. Each encounter resulted in a breakthrough—a chance to move beyond the present situation into a life-changing experience with the healing grace and love of God. The theme of “Breakthrough” will explore a series of biblical stories that represent transforming encounters with Jesus. Campers will first hear the story of Jesus’ welcoming children through a radical, counter-cultural act that challenges the followers of Jesus to offer a welcome to all of God’s children.Week-at-a-Glance Jesus Welcomes
