You don’t always have to travel far to find a mission field. For about 12 Big Camp attendees, it was just across the road!
The group headed into the neighbourhood beside the campgrounds, sharing their faith through books, offers of prayer and invitations to come and enjoy camp. There was a special welcome for residents in the new estates, some of whom were curious about the “tent city” that had sprung up nearby. What a great opening for a conversation!
Everyone returned with a positive experience. Most people accepted books, and a few expressed interest in visiting Big Camp themselves.
With so much happening inside the campgrounds, it’s encouraging to see dedicated Christians taking time to share the hope we’re enjoying with our neighbours. A friendly conversation, a book and an invitation can give someone much more than an explanation for all those tents.
