Learning to Live Brave

This summer’s Kids Camp was one to remember! With a savannah theme, our days were filled with adventure, laughter, and powerful moments with God.

Lions, hyenas, sunsets, and safari fun set the stage for our camp theme: “Live Brave”, inspired by our verse from Joshua 1:9 (NLT)

“I command you—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Throughout the week, the kids learned about the Lion’s True Identity—a reminder that just like a lion grows into its roar, each child can discover their true identity in Christ. We talked about what it means to live with courage, not because of our own strength, but because God promises to be with us no matter where life takes us.

One of the most powerful testimonies came from a grandparent of a camper. She shared:

” I just wanted to pass on some very positive feedback… my beautiful 11-year-old granddaughter just called me almost in tears telling me how God spoke to her today during the quiet time when she asked God a question. She asked God to help her with her fear of the dark and she very clearly heard Him speak back to her… ‘I will, My Child.’”

Moments like this 11-year-old remind us why camp matters so much. God is faithful to meet kids right where they are—whether in the fun of a game, the laughter of a meal shared, or the stillness of a prayer time.

Throughout the week, our staff served with remarkable unity, all centered on one mission: helping children take their next step with Jesus—whether making a first-time decision to follow Him or publicly declaring their faith through water baptism. From chaperones to kitchen crew, recreation leaders to the prayer team, every person gave their best with joy, building an environment where kids felt safe, deeply loved, and open to hearing God’s voice.

As we wrapped up the week, it was clear: courage had taken root. Kids left camp not just with memories of games and songs, but with the confidence that they are never alone. God is with them. Always.

This summer, we celebrated more than a theme. We celebrated a generation learning to “Live Brave” in Jesus.
