In February, 1,070 students converged on the Lakeview Camp & Retreat Center in Waxahachie, Texas, for YouthCAMP, or as students call it, “the best weekend ever.” Split up into two weekends—one weekend for junior high and one for high school students—YouthCAMP is designed to help students encounter the presence of God in a meaningful way and lay the foundation for a lifelong relationship with Him.
In all, it was a life-altering weekend for many students. Here’s a look at some of the impact:
0

0

Thanks to those who gave toward our “Next Generation” fund, 404 students received financial aid totaling $54,847 and were able to experience this life changing weekend.
This summer will present another opportunity for transformation in our students’ lives on an even larger scale. We anticipate nearly 4,000 students from Gateway and all over the country at YouthCON, our largest youth gathering of the year, which takes place over three days at the Gateway Southlake Campus in July. We also anticipate the need for $30,000 in scholarships to help 600 Gateway Youth to attend.
You can make an eternal impact in the life of a student by sowing into this fund, and we will share the impact of your investment back to you in an upcoming report.
