Connecting The Advent Calendar

The Advent Calendar is part of Camp’s Prayer, Word, & Worship Initiative — our efforts to fellowship and share deep prayer, immersion in the Word that reveals Jesus, and sold-out worship to the King — even when we’re not all at Camp. As we build this initiative, we’d like volunteers to join us by bringing their artistic and spiritual gifts to bear for the benefit and growth of all of us.

In conjunction with this, projects like the Advent Calendar are also important for our Discipleship & Leadership Development Initiative. A critical part of developing leaders and followers of Jesus is giving them space to develop their voice, style, and ministry. Camp is focusing in the next season on doing this with young adults, so it seemed fitting to invite Katrina, a young adult who considers Camp one of her spiritual homes, to produce this series.
