It’s easy to feel alone, isolated, scared. Even with infinite connection possible at our fingertips, even with the whole world available to us, those creeping, hard thoughts find a way in- Are they actually my friends? Do I actually have a purpose? Am I really that good at anything? 2,000 years ago, young people faced the same. They were alone, disconnected, in darkness. 

And then Jesus came. 

When Jesus arrived into our hurting, broken world, He lived unlike anyone ever had before. The world could not hear God’s voice, but Jesus did. The world could not overcome their own hurt, their own darkness, but Jesus made the darkness run and hide. The world could not stay close to Him, live close to Him, but Jesus could.

Jesus came close to us to show us what it looks like to live perfectly close to the Father. 

And that changes everything. Jesus, our friend who sticks closer than a brother, offers us a life where we never have to be alone again. You can live a life completely connected to the One who made you, the One who speaks, the One who created you for a purpose. And you’ll find that it’s the way you were made to live all along. 

At Camp Overcomers 2022, encounter the friendship that has the power to change your whole life. 

“There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” – Proverbs 18:24
