I come from a Gypsy colony where people often reject and neglect us. Our community used to worship many lifeless idols and even animals, not knowing the true and living God. When I was eight years old, my life changed forever. A Christian missionary, John Chidambaram, began running a Bible camp in our colony. For the first time, I met people who truly loved and cared for us — the ones society had forgotten. At the camp, I heard the powerful message: “Love God and love your ne

My name is Nisha, and I am 10 years old. I come from a Hindu family, but my heart belongs to Jesus. I first learned about Jesus when I attended a CCI summer camp at the age of 7. It was my very first camp, and everything there felt so special — the songs, the games, and especially the stories about Jesus. I remember feeling a peace in my heart that I had never felt before. After camp, I started attending the weekly Saturday follow-up program at church. That’s where I learned

My name is Meena 12 years old, and this summer I’m attending the CCI camp for the fourth time. Every week when I step onto the church grounds for the follow-up program, it feels like coming home. But it wasn’t always this way. My parents usually don’t allow me to go to Christian programs. Four years ago, I was visiting my aunt’s house during the holidays. My cousins were going to a local CCI camp and asked me to come along. I didn’t know what to expect, but that one week chan

Nethmi My name is Nethmi, and this was my first time at the CCI summer camp. I was a little shy at first, but my camp pastor and counsellors were so kind to me. They taught me how to write, paint, draw, and play many fun games. I loved the action songs and the beautiful stories about Jesus. I learned that Jesus loves little children like me and always listens when I pray. The food and snacks at camp were so yummy! I also learned many memory verses, and I like saying them to m

Rithish - Southeast Asia 2025 Hi, I’m Rithish, and I am seven years old. This was my first time at CCI camp, and I loved it so much! I made so many good friends, and we sang lots of fun action songs together. The best part was when I got to act on stage for Psalm 23. Everyone clapped, and I felt so happy! My favorite verse is “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). I usually can’t memorize my school lessons, but at camp, I memorized so many Bible verses and

Hi, I’m Priyanka. I am six years old, and I came to the CCI camp for the very first time from the Trichy district. My camp pastor was Pastor Steven Shive, and I liked him very much! At camp, I learned so many new things — Bible stories, fun skits, and beautiful action songs about Jesus. I also made crafts and many new friends. My favourite time was when our camp counsellor told us how much Jesus loves children like me. That was the first time I heard about Jesus, and now I lo

This month, nearly 70 church pastors gathered for a four-day residential Zonal Leaders’ Meeting, an important time of prayer, planning, and preparation for the ministry ahead. These leaders, all voluntary workers with CCI - Southeast Asia, shepherd their own churches and are supported financially by their congregations. Yet they joyfully give their time, energy, and hearts to help advance the mission of sharing Jesus with children across India. During the training, the pastor

Under clear September skies, the fields north of Three Hills came alive on Saturday, September 20, as more than 250 people gathered to support Children’s Camps International (CCI) through the annual Harvest for Kids event.  This year’s harvest yielded an impressive average of more than 84 bushels per acre. The result will provide enough funding to send nearly 20,000 children to Bible camps in developing countries, an impact that will change lives for generations to come. By 1

On November 5, our Gypsy Camp Counsellors Training program brought together 104 young participants from across the district, all eager to grow in their faith and serve their communities. The day was filled with inspiring sessions, practical training on reaching children, effective follow-up programs, and fellowship, equipping these young leaders to carry the message of Jesus to their communities. At the conclusion of the training, each participant made a heartfelt vow to acti

In Cambodia, prayer, constant work, love, and faith in action reflect the deep desire of communities to know God and share the Gospel with the next generation. Last October, pastors gathered with the Children’s Camp Ministry to deepen their collaboration with Children’s Camps International, aiming to reach millions of children for Jesus through Bible camps and follow-up discipleship programs. To work effectively and achieve measurable results, the meeting focused on key topic

Art, creativity, play, and songs have been powerful tools for children in Brazil to grow in their walk with Jesus. By meditating on God’s Word and memorizing Bible verses, they not only deepen their faith but also strengthen their relationships with friends and family, as well as improve their academic performance. “I love learning more about God. Recently, I’ve been learning how sin can be bad and harmful to us. I learned a beautiful thing in the Camps Brazil, and that's why

Hi, my name is Abhaya, and I am 13 years old. I come from a non-Christian family where we used to worship many gods and offer sacrifices at home. Every year, my parents spent a great deal of money and gave away many valuable things in the name of sacrifice. I thought that was the only way to please God. But when I came to the CCI summer camp, I heard for the first time that Jesus is the only true and living God. The camp pastors and counsellors taught us from the Bible that w

I’m Varun, a 12-year-old boy, and I still remember the first day I stepped into the CCI summer camp. I didn’t know then that one week would change the rest of my life. The camp was filled with laughter, songs, games, and stories — but more than all that, it was where I first met Jesus in a real way. Every morning, our camp pastor spoke about God’s love, and every evening, our counsellors shared stories that touched my heart. I began to see that Jesus wasn’t just someone in a

'At the camp, I learned that Jesus loves me personally and listens to my prayers. That truth stayed with me, even after I went home. Whenever I felt lonely, I would close my eyes and whisper, “Jesus, I need You,” and He would fill my heart with peace.'
