Money committed in the 10X Push will be used to follow the call of God to expand the territories he gives us. We have identified four specific territories for investment that have the potential to spark an awakening over the next 10 years.
A few years ago, we bought 440 acres of raw land in the middle of nowhere. We were chasing a high-risk vision. In a world full of distractions, loneliness, and spiritual listlessness, we believed the more people who disconnected for a weekend, spent time in nature, and connected face-to-face with others while worshiping God, the better. And it actually worked! Complete with beer kegs beside the prayer tent, we are seeing spiritual, emotional, and relational breakthroughs. People are meeting God for the first time, marriages are restored, miraculous physical healings have occurred, traumas are confronted, and lives have been drastically changed. Crossroads Camps are only-in-class, and we believe God wants us to take things even further.
Nine years ago, we started with 500 men on a borrowed farm for our first MAN CAMP. That’s grown to 84 events (incl. MAN CAMP, Woman Camp, Couples Camp, Family Camp, Vet Camp, Gerbil Camp and more) with over 49,000 campers (and 2,000 baptisms!). This is a move of God and there is nothing like it in all the world. It is a territory where we want MORE. But we’re capped by our current land and features. Through the generosity of some of our most faithful givers, we were able to purchase the adjoining 330 acres earlier this year. Now, we must focus on adding new features and better experiences to reach tens of thousands more people whose first connection with God might be in a tent and around a campfire.
We are building a destination for people from all over the country to come and experience God in a profound and unique way. Our only-in-class camp experience will include design elements that transport people to a transcendent experience. New elements include a beautiful 20-acre lake, a new and immersive entrance, signature experiences, and capacity for tens of thousands of people per event. Base Camp could be ground zero for a spiritual awakening. You can go to a concert anywhere, but there’s only one Woodstock. This can be an awakened Woodstock.
BASE CAMP NUMBERS AND DREAMS
With a total of 770 acres of land, and a planned 20-acre lake, we now have room to create America’s Camp Revival Land, including:
