Because You Gave

Over 300 Lives Transformed Camp Fusion

Camp Fusion exists to lead students to faith in Christ, deepen the faith-journey of those who are already Christfollowers, and intentionally build young leaders, as it equips them to return to their churches and take on leadership roles.

2022 was a unique year as approximately two-thirds of the 246 attending were first time campers. Camp Fusion celebrates the cultural diversity of those attending.

Linda Howell, Texas Baptists Intercultural Ministries Specialist, shared her joy of being an adult sponsor for eight Texas Lisu Christian Church youth. After Camp Fusion, the Lisu church held a three-week Bible study and went over the plan of salvation and what it means to follow Jesus. Seven of the eight kids accepted Christ. The pastor said that Camp Fusion was the reason they were open to accepting Christ.
