Whenever I read reports from Claudia Long about Camp Youth Alive (click here), my mind travels back to a special camp I attended when I was just a kid. To this day, I consider that camp one of the most significant influences on my entire life.

Every summer that camp challenged me to live out the Christian life, to reflect Christ at school, to be a witness for Him, and to share the gospel whenever I could. It was a tremendous opportunity to get away from my normal routine and focus my attention wholly on Christ.

Camp Youth Alive brings help, hope, and the joy of salvation to Nigeria's youth

As Claudia Long walked through the cities and villages of Nigeria, her heart ached. She saw the many struggles the children faced, and she longed to help them--but how?

Through a week of fun, teaching practical skills, and sharing the gospel, Camp Youth Alive changes the hearts and lives of Nigeria's youth today and for eternity.
When SIM missionary Gerlinde Skaggs suffered a devastating head injury in a fall from her bicycle last May, her life hung in the balance for several weeks. Then, as God answered the many prayers of her family and SIM friends like you, she regained consciousness and began showing remarkable improvement.
