What I Saw at Camp Barnabas
Alec Vanderboom visited Camp Barnabas with his camera, not knowing how his life would be changed by his experience there. What he captured is really the essence of who Camp Barnabas is. What he captured is a beautiful portrayal of the love and joy that is experienced at camp. Here are his words:
"I WAS ASKED TO COME VISIT CAMP BARNABAS AND BRING MY CAMERA, SO I SHOWED UP OUT THERE, NOT FULLY UNDERSTANDING HOW I WOULD BE CHANGED, AND HOW I WOULD SEE GOD SHOW HIS LOVE THROUGH WHAT GOES ON AT THIS VERY UNIQUE SUMMER CAMP. TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT GOES ON THERE, HERE'S THEIR VISION STATEMENT:
CAMP BARNABAS IS A UNIQUE MINISTRY PROVIDING CHRISTIAN CAMPING EXPERIENCES TO PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND TO THEIR SIBLINGS. THE PROGRAM EXISTS TO OFFER LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCES TO CAMPERS AND TO THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE THEM. UTILIZING THE CAMP VENUE, OUR ORGANIZATION PROVIDES MINISTRY AND SOCIAL EXPERIENCES THAT INCREASE SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE AND INCREASE HUMAN DIGNITY TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM.
SO, I COMPILED THIS SHORT FILM OF WHAT I SAW THERE. MAY YOU WATCH THIS AND BE BLESSED TO SEE AND KNOW THAT A LOVE LIKE THIS EXISTS IN OUR WORLD."
