INTERNATIONAL MESSENGERS
FAMILY CAMPS & PROFESSIONAL CAMPS
Family Camps
The Family Camp is a variation of the regular Evangelistic English Language Camp. This type of camp allows the European believers to invite unbelieving neighbors and friends with families to a camp setting where they can call work on their English and spend time with their families. This gives these European members a chance to share the Gospel in a comfortable, relaxed setting and also provides them time to interact with their kids. Schedules are busy with some parents working more than one job, so time away with their children is rare and provides them a unique opportunity to be with their families. Family Camp brochure.
During the time that the teens and adults meet throughout the day, the children meet in a separate location. There will be worship time, Bible stories, English studies, outdoor activities, games, crafts and other “Summer Bible School” type activities. This is a place to plug in your own children into ministry. The team puts together the materials needed for this ministry from their church. Three or four team members are assigned to the children. Our staff will arrange for some local teens and/or moms to help with this
ministry.

Adult Professional Camp (Business Camp)
The Professional English Camp is for adults and focuses on professionals between the ages of 30 & 60. They have not had a chance to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. With the coming economic hard times ahead for this age group, they are more open to the Gospel now than ever before. They are searching for the meaning of their existence and life after death. We also wish to introduce them to the same Biblical vocabulary that their children have been exposed to through other missionary outreaches that they do don't comprehend. We hope this will make a more harmonious home environment for everyone.
The professional camps will focus on teachers, business people and the medical profession. They have the most exposure to families in the community, and they want to improve their English speaking skills and learn more about their professions from Americans.
Team members for the professional camps should have backgrounds in banking, construction, industrial, import/export, legal, manufacturing, retail, sales/marketing and service businesses. Medical teams would be made up of doctors and nurses with various practices and specialties.
The trips run approximately 14 days, with a 2-1/2 day training required over a weekend prior to the trip. International Messengers does all the training required. All we ask is that team members be professionals, with a heart for relationship-based evangelism, have a vital relationship with Jesus Christ and can give a presentation in a workshop setting.
