Hear from those who’ve been changed
“The whole week was a testimony of God’s goodness. I had a very difficult school year last year. It was full of stress, tragedy, and two straight months of me being totally overwhelmed by life. BUT, God is good, and through my weakness and exhaustion, He worked. I know that He did amazing things in the lives of my girls in that week, and in the process I was completely blessed. I’m looking forward to next year!”
“Just wanted to thank you and praise God for your ministry. I was saved at camp tel hai in July of 1981. I was in foster care at the time for the third time. I grew up later, walking with the Lord and served Him in Rwanda as a missionary for 15 years and will soon be pastoring a church in MN. The Lord bless you.“
“He told me, when he was a boy of Stockade age ( 8 or 9 ), from Maranatha Church in Darby, he went to the Brigade summer camp when it was held at Tel Hai. It was at that week of camp that he knows he received Christ as his Savior. It was during the early-mid 1960’s when the Brigade summer camp in the region was a rental group, before they moved to Haycock (I think that was in 1965).”
