CJM Sunnyside Camp 2012: part 1

This year marks the 60th Anniversary of the family Bible camp that Canadian Japanese Ministries has run, and our family participated again this year for an intense and joyful time of worship, learning, and fellowship. It was only the second time that I stayed the whole week, but for many including my wife, it is an annual event that is an essential and vital part of their journey of faith and personal history... and one that I pray will help inform my own kids' paths as well.

 

At the core of the small campground at Sylvain Lake, Alberta, is the main sanctuary. There is something very powerful about gathering in praise, in a humble, utilitarian timber structure... it recalls the humility and mystery of the incarnate God, and our response in living out an authentic life of worship and community.
