A dad came up to me after Roundup at Family Famp and said “Our family is looking for a church. We want one that is like this place.” What the man wanted was a church that welcomed, loved, and grew close to their family. A place where they could feel God’s presence in the fellowship [...]
A Servant’s Heart
Posted by johnhill on Oct 16 2009

Yet what I described didn’t seem to do justice to Family Camp. There was so much more that I couldn’t quite put into words. What was it that [...]

Stories
Posted by johnhill on Apr 14 2009I love stories! When I was growing up, I really enjoyed it when my parents would read stories to all of us before bed.
