“No Friend Like Jesus”Get Connected

“Become friends with God, [God] is already a friend with you.” (2 Corinthians 5:20b, The Message)

No Friend Like Jesus: Get Connected!

From the African talking drum to the smart-phone, people like to stay connected with friends and family. During this camp experience, kids connected with God and community in a Bible-based, social networking progression from image to profile to update to friends, ultimately sending a message about faith in Jesus Christ.

Through Scripture, music, movement, crafts, skits, and games, kids grew in positive self-image and self-worth through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  They experienced Christian community face-to-face and with technology.  Kids discovered that Jesus is their BFF (best friend forever)!
