a ministry of Camp XL

2. Teaching and Training
Supporting the local Church in the task of discipling the next generation

3. We aim to…
…help the local church reach young people with the saving news of Jesus Christ
…equip young people to reach others with the saving news of Jesus Christ

4. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
How then can they call
on the one they have not believed in?
And how can they believe
in the one of whom they have not heard?
And how can they hear
without someone preaching to them?
And how can they preach
unless they are sent?
Romans 10:13-15

5. Why Residentials?
They’re a wonderful opportunity to think about the big questions of life!

6. Why Residentials?
A weekend at Gaines gives young people quality time with their leaders as they consider the claims of Jesus
Our camps offer the chance to hear the Gospel alongside others from different walks of life

7. Teaching
Spending time in God’s word to introduce young people to Jesus, and help them to grow in their love of him.
All scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17

8. Activities
Our activity programme caters for all: The sporty, creative, adrenaline-seeking, quiet and loud! It is purposely designed to…
create opportunities for fun
make lasting memories
create space to chat with leaders about the day’s teaching

9. Training
Each year we take on a small team of young committed Christians to train in biblical youth and children’s ministry.
Our prayer is that after a year with us they leave better equipped to serve in their local church - wherever that may be!

10. Please Pray… …that our young guests would grow in their love of Jesus!
…that we would remain fixed on the Gospel
…that we would send godly, well-equipped workers out into the local church to serve Christ faithfully.
