The Great

KNOW FACTOR

The quest for more and more knowledge has been a quest for humankind since before the Biblical account of the ‘Tower of Babel’ in the book of Genesis. In our modern times, and with the advent of the technology boom we are all witnessing, the quest for knowledge is at an all-time high our society. The temptation to solve all of life’s ills through amassing more human wisdom is more alluring than ever.

At Camp Pioneer this year, our focus will be on directing the camper’s attention on the most important piece of knowledge any human being can acquire during their lifetime. When looking for solutions to problems in the classroom, oftentimes we start with the givens and the unknowns.
The unknown factors are sometimes represented with an ‘x’. Logically then, this ‘x’ factor is the information we need to know.

The most important question in life is “to KNOW how one can receive eternal life? I like to refer to it as the great KNOW FACTOR. I believe our Lord Jesus Christ summarily answers this question in John 17:3 “And this is the way to have eternal life—to KNOW you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. (NLT). Our 2012 Camp Theme will be centered on this verse.

Campers will be challenged to know God in an intimate way and not just familiarly. They will also be directed to the fact that salvation comes exclusively through faith in Jesus Christ, and that there is an inseparable relationship between God the Father and God the Son. They will come to understand that they can know God in true saving faith, and that God wants to know them in a significant way. We will stress that of all the knowledge and aspirations they have in life, learning to truly know Christ is most important.

Pray with us as we pour these vital truths of God’s Word into to the lives of the campers He will bless us with this camping season.

In His Service,
Ronald M. Bingham, Admin.

Not to mention we’ve mixed things up a bit for this summer and you don’t just want to hear about it – you definitely want to be here to see it for yourself!

From Monday morning when you arrive until Friday evening when you depart, there’ll be lots of fun and adventure. You’ll meet new friends and meet up with some of your old ones. (Hey, why don’t you bring a few friends along with you?).  And, of course, we’ll have some good eatin’!
