July 26 - August 1, 2020
Six nights and seven days. What in the world is God doing in the world? If that thought has ever crossed your mind, this family camp is for you. If the final words of Jesus to His disciples, the Great Commission found in Matthew 28, are important to you, then Week of Missions is for you.
Our speakers are drawn from those who are actively involved in crossing cultures to share the good news of Jesus Christ. The Bible Lecturer opens the Word of God and plumbs its depths to encourage and challenge us to obey the call to “go and make disciples.”
The purpose of Week of Missions is to further the cause of New Testament Christianity through cross-cultural missions by:
Spending a week among a group of people who pursue the purpose of making a difference in the world for the sake of the Gospel will change your life and send you home with renewed purpose and passion.
Camp in your RV, tent, or stay in one of our cabins. Cabins fill up fast, so be sure to register early! Consider sharing a cabin with another family and split the fee - we have cabins that sleep up to 15 people.
Delicious meals are available for purchase in the Dining Hall.

Stephen Wongratanamajcha
Founder of Asians for Christ
Stephen is Lisu. His journey began in a small Lisu village. You see, Stephen's father was the leader of that remote animistic Lisu village in Northern Thailand where the name of Jesus was never even once heard. One day, God came and spoke to his father and, from then on, delivered their family from the grasps of Satan. His family was one of the first Lisu families in Thailand to convert to Christ. Praise God! Through persecutions and challenges, Stephen went into ministry and began to spread the Word. He married his wife, Mary; they have 4 kids: Becky, Nick, John, and Isaac. Stephen finished his Biblical education in the States through the support and love of Church families and friends in America. Currently, Stephen has been doing Missions for over 30 years, targeting the Lisu people group in Southeast Asia and China. By the blessings of our God, his team has converted and baptized over 5000 people (Lisu among other groups of people) in the past 7 years.
