Pray for Breakaway
Breakaway Day Camp week is off to a great start!
We're excited for another summer of fun, friendships and opportunities to share the love of Christ with Children in our community.
Please be praying for our campers, counselors, volunteers and leadership team, that God would work in powerful ways, keep everyone safe, and use these weeks to draw hearts closer to Him.
If you would like to help make camp possible for a child, consider sponsoring a camper and investing in their experience in this ministry.
