MIA (Ministry in Action): Recharge Snow Camp

This past weekend was another awesome Recharge Snow Camp experience. The campus hosted four youth groups from across Ontario reaching a total of over seventy teens. Saturday night saw three campers accept Christ as their personal Saviour and there were reports that more campers made the same decision later in the evening. This is why Word of Life exists: to see young people accept Christ as their personal Saviour.


The speaker this past weekend was WOLBI's  very own Mr. Jonathan Ward. He spoke from the bok of Jude, teaching on how to contend for the faith. Campers were impacted greatly by the power of God's Word.

Snow Camp is probably one of the most stretching and yet exciting times during the BI year. But even though it is difficult at times and the going gets tough, learning to rely on God for strength and seeing lives changed as completely worth the hard work and time that goes into this ministry.

"Recharge is intense! It's great to see the different youth groups come in with many different backgrounds and just be able to talk to and encourage them even in the quick minute conversations. I can see God working more and more each week. It's great."
- Kassey, Goulais River

"Recharge has been awesome! It's great to see kid's accept Christ. I love working with the Maintenance team."

"This is an amazing growth of faith in me; I can see it and I can't wait to come back!"

"It was a wonderful weekend, that has helped me get back in touch with the Lord."

"I liked the atmosphere and the kind, enthusiastic leaders."

Please continue to pray for this ministry as God works in the lives of everyone involved!

MIA (Ministry in Action): Recharge Snow Camp

We're off to a great start with our 'Recharge' (Snow Camp) weekends here on our Ontario campus. What is 'Recharge'? An action-packed weekend of evangelism and Christian growth, where youth groups from across Ontario participate in sports tournaments, paintball, high ropes and peer to peer challenges. 'Recharge' is seven weekends in length and helps teens identify their purpose (know Christ), intensify their walk (grow in Christ) and amplify their faith (share Christ).


Over our first two weekends our camp speakers (Rich Andrews from WOL Youth Camp Florida and Chris Finchum from WOL Local Church Ministries in the southeast U.S.) challenged over 150 teens and junior teens. We saw over 30 young people accept Christ over those 2 weekends, and 80 make decision of life dedication! Praise the Lord!


"It was amazing! Thank you for blessing us with a fun God filled weekend!!! You guys rock!!"

"I thought the weekend was very uplifting and I learned a lot about my relationship with my Saviour, God."

"I had an amazing time this weekend, the sports were well organized and very fun. The sessions were also right on the spot with what I was dealing with."

"I thought it was good and fun. I really loved how we talked about God because I really never had a relationship with him and now I do."


We have 5 more weekends of intense ministry. We're not wrestling against flesh and blood, but the opposition to God's work: Satan and his demonic forces. However, Christ is victorious and we're living in His victory. Please pray for our Bible Institute students who are intricately involved in our weekend ministries. They need strength, focus, and wise stewardship of their time. Pray for our camp speakers as they share the Word each weekend. And pray that we we would see more and more unsaved teens come to 'Recharge'. Thanks for your love and encouragement.
