Camps Around the World
Are Changing Lives.
The Lord uses the ministry of camps to draw people closer to Himself. Support our mission partners in Mexico and Croatia as they use camps to pour into the communities they minister to.
Camps Around the World
Camp Radical — Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Our mission partners Frank and Rebecca Arellanes have been constructing a retreat center right outside of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We've been sending teams for 4 years to support their construction, landscaping, and efforts to furnish the retreat center to host camps for various ages. Last summer, they hosted their first two camps: Radical Kids (for 8-12 year olds) and Campamento Radical (for 13-22 year olds).
The work the Lord began hasn't finished. They are seeking the Lord for more support and funds to build additional cabin buildings, support regular ministry funds, and host retreats and camps for years to come. One dream they have is to host a pastoral summit for local church pastors around the state of Jalisco for training and encouragement. Let's come alongside them to see the work the Lord can do in their midst by providing some more funding for construction supplies, workers, and other necessary supplies to host this ongoing ministry.

Pastor & Family Camp — Zagreb, Croatia
Another mission partner, Kostya Bakanov, hosts a yearly retreat for displaced Ukrainian pastors and their families from all around Europe. Some of these ministry families continue to live in Ukraine, while others left before or during the ongoing war. This retreat is held in late June, and will celebrate its sixth year in 2027. It offers pastors and their families time for rest, fellowship, connection, and encouragement.
The total cost to host the camp is $19,000, which covers lodging, meals, and supplies. The expenses are raised each year through donations from churches or individuals. We're partnering with Kostya this year to provide some of the funding for this camp, and help them with any other ongoing ministry expenses.
