Stoked breakout 2018 spring break camp pictures and report (nxpowerlite copy)

Two weeks before I came here I got baker acted for cutting. I had so much going on that I wanted to take my own life. I honestly had been thinking about suicide.

But when I got to Camp Anderson and gave my life to Christ I no longer felt that way. God is an amazing God. I want to thank Kaitlyn and Jessie from my huddle for showing me love like I ve never felt before in my entire life!

La Tavia

God has made me know that people care about me and that I m not alone. There has been anger and sadness holding me back, but God has let me know that it is the enemy that is holding me back from letting God take over and for me giving my life to Christ. I know now that I am loved and cared for by God. I know that God will never fail me or leave me. God has helped me understand this world. Thank you Camp Anderson for helping me understand that God will always be there for me. Thank you so much I don't know what I would have done without God.

Dafne

At the beginning of this week, I was not sure about putting my trust in God. But through the preaching and just listening to his word and thinking about it. I have said yes to him. My cabin members helped me make my choice to trust and understand him.

Emily Phillips When this week began, I felt such a strong negative energy from many of the students. I m saved and I know Jesus, but I've never been to camp with so many nonbelievers. God put it on my heart to lead unchurched kids into a life with Jesus. I have seen so many life changing decisions happen this week. I ve talked to so many kids who live in circumstances that I cant imagine and I know that God wanted me to recognize that and declare my love for Him. My best friend kept me grounded and laid it on my heart to pray for these kids. Thank you Camp Anderson for giving us an opportunity to come together and bring so many lives to Christ.

God has answered my prayer to break my heart like his own for the lost, the broken hearted and especially the orphaned. He has given me a new capacity for love, and a new understanding for His love through that.

God has opened my eyes to the difficult needs of the children in and out of our ministry.

Camp Anderson isn t a camp at all! It s God s love on earth with open arms welcoming children to a new life, with a staff that is truly on the mission field.

Nick Burrows

I love all you people. Yall showed me love and I know its real Yall tell me you love me over and over and Im not used to that word, Love. I just thank yall so much!

Tatianna

I said yes to God. He has done so much for me. he changed my life forever. I can proudly say that I m saved and always will be. The love that God has gave me is so powerful it s crazy. During this week I have been loved by so many people. All the friends that loved me this week are Hayley, Josh, Newman and Alexis. These people are major followers of Christ.

Briana

I gave my life to Jesus this week!

Shawn

God has taken my anger and made it His. He has wiped my plate clean.

I m free, I m home, I feel accepted.

I never had anything, didn t have a family, nothing at all. But with God my nothing has become my everything.

Amarilis

I ve just been going through the motions of living a Christian life and I haven t had that fire that Pastor Kevin and Alex have been talking about. I have decided to rededicate my life to Christ and live my life for Him alone.

Gracie

Spending this week with kids at camp, specifically foster kids, has just solidified my calling from God to pursue this as my journey and mission. Sharing Jesus and loving unconditionally is what I was made for. I ve had many experiences that I never quite understood why.

I now am starting to see the why s. I ve seen so many signs from God leading me to Camp Anderson. This ministry is going to be a game changer for our communities. With the right training and partnerships, we can and will reach so many of these kids and start to truly change child welfare and break the cycles.

I am so in love with what Jesus is doing here and I m excited to see how he uses my family in this ministry.

Sarah Haynes

This week has been so powerful. I really feel that God could do something through me. Before I felt that I wasn t good enough and that I didn t know how to share the gospel and I was scared that people would make fun of me but this week has made me feel that I shouldn t be scared or ashamed to share the gospel.

Wedge

The decision I made this week was to commit my life to Jesus and accept Him in my heart. Through thick and thin, I have been saved by the Lord and He has spoken to me perfectly. The Lord has put me on track and I give special thanks to Brandon, Daniel, Mr. Josh, Pastor Jason and all the people of Camp Anderson.

Matthew

My life and my friends lives changed so much this week. I decided that I want to be all the way for God and I want the fire. I am not perfect but I will try with everything to 100% live for God. God helped me be the light in another girls life.

She told me that if it were not for me she would have killed herself and she stopped cutting when I prayed with her. God is real!

Katie

I was seperated from my biological family at 3 years old because my mom chose drugs and my dad passed away. I went in and out of many different foster homes and got adopted at age 5. That mom died of cancer and my brother became abusive and my dad became sick so I ran away. DCF found and took my sister and I away now to a group home. If it were not for all of the pain, I would not have ever come here and gotten saved! My friends here at camp have helped me find God. I love God and I have given my life to Him.
