 ETERNITY
For more than a decade, Camp Regeneration has been an annual

INVESTING IN
testament to the life-changing work of the Word. Every summer,
high school students from across the country gather for a week
focused on powerful preaching. The result: countless testimonies
and immeasurable fruit. Many have been converted, while others
have experienced a week of radical growth.
As we approach the summer, we are excited to announce that
CAMP REGEN IS BACK! From July 28–August 3, hundreds of high
school students will travel to Glorieta, New Mexico, for a week of
great fun, powerful preaching, and incredible worship. We are
High School Ministry thrilled to have Pastor John join us again this year, along with our
Camp Regeneration college pastor, Austin Duncan. In this Bible-centered atmosphere,
we hope to see the Lord work mightily once again.
FEATURE

The theme of REGEN 2022 is “Looking to Jesus.” The focus of Christianity

is Jesus Christ. Our faith does not rest primarily in a set of creeds, but
in a person. We have not simply turned away from self, sin, and the
world, but we have turned to Christ. The hope for eternal glory is not
in our own goodness, but in the matchless Savior who is coming
again. For the Christian, everything is about Jesus.
It is critical, in a world of sin and distraction, for Christians to keep
their eyes fixed on Jesus. Knowing Christ is the basis for eternal life.
Enjoying Christ is key for saying no to the passing pleasures of sin.
Beholding the glory of Christ is the means by which His people
become transformed to His image. Abiding in Christ is how we stay
faithful to Him.
This camp, our prayer is that souls would be saved, sin would be put
to death, and that students would strive zealously in their faith. This
transformation is not something we can invent but can only occur

WAY S TO PA R T N E R
by looking to Jesus. Camp Regeneration has always been a “whole church” ministry.
It cannot exist without the partnership and support of the entire
body. There are two primary ways you can help.
Pray. The greatest support you can provide is prayer. Our biggest

FEATURE
need is for the Lord to be at work in our camp. We would love
prayer for unbelievers to come, for the preaching, for conversion,
and for spiritual growth.
Give. You can also partner with us by contributing to the Camp
Scholarship Fund—a financial resource that allows us to say “yes”
to our students and their unsaved friends who otherwise would
not be able to attend. You can provide a full scholarship ($475),
half-scholarship ($240), or any other amount you feel led to give. If
you are interested, stop by the Regen table on any Sunday morning
over the next three weeks or visit gracechurch.org/180.
Our church family plays a critical role in the ministry we do at Camp
Regen, and for that, we’re thankful. With camp just two months
away, we eagerly anticipate seeing fruit as the Lord works through
His Word and through His Church.

Local Outreach Spotlight
Open Arms Pregnancy Clinic Fundraiser
Today through June 26
Open Arms Pregnancy Clinic is a local clinic that ministers to both women and men
who are facing unplanned pregnancies by offering pregnancy testing, ultrasound
exams, education, prenatal instruction, biblically based parenting skills classes, and
material resources. Staffed by faithful Christians—many of them members of Grace
Church—the OAPC keeps the gospel of Christ central to their entire ministry.
Through the month of June, OAPC will be handing out baby bottles for their annual
fundraiser. Pick up a baby bottle, fill it with change, and return it to the Welcome
Center. This is a great way to help raise support for the vital, ongoing ministry of the
Open Arms Pregnancy Clinic. For more information, contact Local Outreach at
