International Winter Camp - Two New Births!
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!
