More about CampFest!

How do you capture something like CampFest? 11 days full of preparation, thousands of people, loud music, challenging speakers, and lots of fun.

On August 1st over 120 volunteers arrived to set up tents and other equipment. On the 7th the rest of the atendees started to arrive.

The Festival kicked off that evening and nothing was quiet or still until well past 2am on Sunday morning!

Including the performers and volunteers there were over 4,650 people! The field behind the ranch was turned into a tent city full of people, tents,
tent city
water towers, and as many porta pots as i have ever seen in one place.

CampFest is more than great bands from Slovakia,

the young people who came heard the gospel message clearly presented. There were over 100 trained spiritual counselors who had around 350 discussions with festival participants.

Of those over 200 prayed to confess sins and receive deliverance from addictions and occultism in their lives. We can also celebrate the 40 young people who prayed to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior!!

Can I share just two of the testimonies that we have already received.

I came back yesterday from CampFest. I would like to thank you for great atmosphere and say that it was my first time at the festival but not the last time. I was fullfiled by the strength from above which I was missing. Seminars, concerts, worship- all that was awesome and I took something from it all. IMG_5941I hope that CampFest will be organized also the next year. And if God wants and we will be still here, I will come with my friends again.

I came to the festival for the third time as performer. I am always amazed by great tents with good construction, technics of good quality, cameras, all the performers...

Most of them are real servants of God and do not pretend to be stars.
Behind this work there has to be people with purpose. And this purpose is not just to satisfy the youth with good music or give them the best. For the leaders the most important things are the hearts of those young people. They want to see them growing, be on fire for Jesus and coming back to their churches renewed.

It is not important there whether you are from apostolic church, lutheran, brethren or catholic...What is important is your faith in Jesus Christ and it has united many of them.
