Camp Director's Welcome Message
Dear Beloved Members,
Welcome to the camp meeting. We give thanks to God that Houston Church has been given the opportunity to serve you, and we warmly welcome each and every one of you in the name of the Lord.
In these days, our hearts are often heavy and weary amid news of disasters and wars around the world. Yet we believe that God has led us to this quiet and beautiful place so that our bodies and minds may find rest, and our faith may grow deeper. We pray that it will truly be so.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the speakers who have come to share the Word, and to all the staff who have worked so hard to make this gathering possible.
May this camp meeting be an opportunity for all of us to experience God's abundant grace, and to long for and prepare for the return of Jesus Christ.
Thank you.
