"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"

Jeremiah Camp
As a child I never had the opportunity to go to church camp. My children, however, went many times and always came home excited about learning about God and making new friends. Jeremiah Camp is designed to give kids who don’t go to church camp the chance to experience the outdoors and draw closer to God through Bible study, crafts, and games. It’s also important to see adult role models build friendships with the campers. Our first camp was small but, successful.

Jeremiah Camp 2009
Two overnight Jeremiah Camps were held in July 2009. Girls and boys’ camps were held at separate times and both focused on living a pure life by the standards set in God’s Word, not according to the world’s standards. A total of 25 campers from 3-8 grade attended camp. During the camps, besides Bible study time, campers fished, did archery, crafts, and the challenge course. As with all of our outreach ministries, campers were given the opportunity to use a scholarship to attend. At LWR campers will never be turned away because of an inability to pay. It’s those very children who may not be able to afford church camp that we want coming out here and experiencing first hand the love of an amazing God. Next year we plan to add a camp for older campers as well as more dates to choose from. With the addition of a well next year will also extend the camp to 2-3 days.

Jeremiah Camp 2008
We were able to hold a camp July 2008 with the help of the young adult Bible study group from Gulf Coast Calvary Church in Biloxi, Mississippi. This was a group of young people in their twenties who are on fire for the Lord. Two of them shared with the campers about their experiences on the mission field in South and Central America. We shared God’s love and salvation through Jesus Christ through games, Bible stories, crafts, and the challenge course.

This coming summer (2009) our plans are to have at least one boys' and one girls' Jeremiah Camp.  Our focus will be on purity.  Children today are bombarded with music, movies, etc. that have stolen their innocence.  Our plan is to teach children that staying pure is possible if they make Godly choices.  Of course, we stand on scripture found in Jeremiah 29 verse 11 that tells us God has a good plan for each of us.

Living Waters Ranch is available for families to use for family reunions, and birthday parties also.  (Can be used with or without the challenge course).  4-H Clubs, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, school clubs, and sports teams may also find LWR just what they need for a one day or overnight teambuilding experience.
