OUR PURPOSE

Our desire is to train young men and women so they in turn can reach boys and girls with the gospel. This week-long training institute doesn’t have traditional activities associated with “camp”; instead we provide tiered levels of training taught by instructors with a heart for ministry and a passion for seeing lost children come to a saving knowledge of Christ. During the afternoons, our students have the opportunity to put this training to practice through backyard Bible clubs in the neighborhoods surrounding the campus. Each evening, we hold services that are both a time of rejoicing in what God has done and a time for preparing our hearts through preaching. The preaching services are very direct and focused on helping young people put aside the distractions of materialism, music, movies, and dating. Instead we seek to direct their focus on having a heart and desire to listen to God, honor their parents, and serve the Lord with their lives.

God has given us a clear commission – to reach every creature with the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our special mission for those involved with S.M.I.T.E. is to evangelize every child. In the last ministry year, our students and workers were able to reach over 12,000 children with this precious message! Mark 16:15, “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” We hope you decide to take part in this amazing week!
