"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." — Hebrews 11:1
This summer, students from across the U.S. came together for an unforgettable two-week journey of faith and friendship from July 15 to July 24, spanning two very different corners of the country.
🌆 Week One — New Orleans, Louisiana
The adventure kicked off at Rosaryville Retreat Center, just outside the vibrant streets of New Orleans' French Quarter.
Students raced through a city-wide scavenger hunt around the iconic Jackson Square, explored the mysterious beauty of Louisiana's swamps on a guided tour, and cooled off from the summer heat with an all-out Water Olympics showdown.
🌲 Week Two — Greenbrier, West Virginia
From city streets to mountain trails week two moved to the natural beauty of Greenbrier Christian Retreat.
Tubing. Water slides. Ziplining. A day at the water park. Nonstop activity turned strangers into friends, and friends into family.
🎤 Worship That Warmed Every Heart
Every day began with a sing-along before the message — a little awkward at first, but by the end of the camp, students were singing at the top of their lungs, hearts wide open.
đź“– Quiet Time With Mustard Seed
Each morning, small groups gathered for "Quiet Time," reading Pastor Ock Soo Park's book Mustard Seed together. Through honest testimonies, students shared what God was speaking into their hearts day by day, page by page.
🎙️ Two Voices, One Message: Faith
This year's theme was simple but powerful: Faith.
Week 1 — Evangelist Ryan (Good News Manhattan Church) Shared how God moved every time he took a step of faith — challenging students to let go of their own thoughts and fully trust God's Word.
Week 2 — Pastor Daniel Jung (Good News Denver Church) Testified to God's work in Denver Church and encouraged students to keep stepping forward in faith, praying that God's Word would continue to work powerfully in their lives long after camp ended.
🙏 Looking Ahead
Two weeks. Two states. Countless new friendships. One unshakable theme.
Our prayer is simple: that every student who walked away from this camp carries a deeper, living faith growing in their church, and becoming the next generation of gospel workers.
