Camp ministry is a fun and effective way to encourage young people in their spiritual journey. For believers, it is a wonderful time to spend with peers, encouraging and challenging each other. For unbelievers, it is a chance to get away from normal life and be able to consider seriously the claims of the Bible. The presence of international workers at the Japanese camps can bring excitement and new perspectives on life and faith. At the international camps, the experiences of an older person, even just a few years older, can be a great encouragement to high school students.
