International Winter Camp - Two New Births!

January 2, 2024

International Winter Camp – Two New Births! One of our family’s favorite ministry events all year is our annual International Houseparty camp at Cedar Bay in Upper Michigan. It runs from December 28 – January 2 and is packed with friendship building, indoor and outdoor fun (photos above and below), evangelistic talks, Bible discussions, cooking a truly international meal together, New Year’s Eve party, talent show, singing and more. Hosted by our friends from near Michigan State University and attended by international groups from all over the Midwest, our Madison group was the largest group attending this year! Other than amazing Gospel discussions and deepening friendships, one highlight was that two international friends from other campuses experienced rebirth in Jesus!

About This Project

The 'K' family has been serving with OMF's Returnee Focus team in Madison, Wisconsin since September of 2019. They are working with Thai and other East Asian international students at the University of Wisconsin. Jesse and Kristen studied Thai language from 2007-2008 in Lopburi, Thailand, and then served in campus ministry at Naresuan University in Phitsanulok, Thailand from 2008-2011. After a two-year home assignment, their family of four returned to Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2013 to work in missions mobilization among Thai and tribal churches in North Thailand, teaching the Bible and mentoring indigenous believers in evangelism. Jesse, Kristen and their two daughters returned to the USA in 2015 to help family members battling cancer and to recover from some of their own health issues which had developed overseas. During their time in the USA, Jesse completed his Master of Divinity degree at Asbury Theological Seminary's Florida Dunnam Campus in Orlando. Jesse and Kristen are now serving with the Returnee Focus field of OMF. They are excited to continue their calling to reach the nations through international students and visiting scholars who have come to study on the American college campus - future leaders who will be returning to impact their own unreached people groups and other ethnic groups around them!
