Camp Pastor Bo

Lives transformed when camp pastor tells his story

Miraculously, Bo’s father came to the Lord. The family reunited and began attending church. Bo heard the salvation prayer, and he prayed it from his heart. “I believed God was the real deal.” But his faith waned. Drug dealers became his close friends. Ripping off unsuspecting victims became his calling card. “I told God I wanted to change,” he said. One night on the phone, Bo’s best friend said, “I am the devil.” “I thought I was already in hell,” ...

Confessions of a Cancer Survivor

“I don’t want to be the statistic. I want to be the inspiration.” After six months of chemotherapy for breast cancer, Cheryl Boatman was too weak to wash dishes, let alone drive a car. “I didn’t know if I had enough strength to go up to Warm Beach Camp for last spring’s women’s retreat. When I drove up, I was so dizzy I couldn’t sit up straight. A man from her church unloaded the wheelchair from the back of her ...

"This was a great, somewhat difficult time. The acceptance of the reality that marriage is very difficult and work, but worth it was a valuable concept to me." "Thank you, team, for investing in us, and sharing from your experiences, and life. It means so much to see strong marriages founded on God that last the test of time, struggles, and everything else that attacks the true purpose of a marriage centered on God." Commitment made: "Closer communication and understanding ...
