CFL Returns

Champions for Life Kids' Camp will continue to be a part of our home mission's project. We have over 24 churches represented in our community that volunteer at this faith based camp. This camp is specifically designed for foster children and children at risk. Most of these children have been through very painful situations in their home life. These children learn to realize that they were created by a loving God and that He has a specific plan for their future.

CFL training is starting back up again. 20 new volunteers are now meeting once a month to train for the CFL 2009 summer camp. They will join the other 100 returning volunteers in June.

Here are some pictures from previous years at camp. There are many special moments where the children get specialized attention. Moments matter at this camp.

Children, who were forced into growing up too soon, come to camp and are encouraged to just have fun. They learn that there are adults whom they can trust. They also learn that they have a God who will always love them unconditionally.

There is a special moment where we write down our bad memories of the past. As we burn these memories, we ask Jesus to heal the pain of our past.

Sometimes the life of a foster child is very unstable. As they move around a lot, their birthday is sometimes forgotten. Therefore, we have established each year to have a birthday celebration where each child receives a personalized birthday cake, presents, and love for whom they are.

Please keep these children, some with horrific backgrounds and stories, in your prayers.
