What's Mission|Camp Macon?

LFR, in conjunction with about eighteen churches in Noxubee County, MS will host Camp Macon 2012 , a Day Camp event for Macon/ Noxubee County children & youth. Camp Macon is composed of three separate areas of ministry, and Mission Campers are selected by their youth pastors for ministry in one of these three areas depending on the student's preference, gifts, and spiritual maturity.

The Three Ministry Areas that Mission Campers along the LFR staff will be leading are:

1. Several city-wide Kids' Camps for local children ages 7-11.
2. An evangelistic Sports Day Camp at LFR for local teens ages 12-18.
3. Work Projects in Macon helping the needy and disabled.

For Senior High & College Students

MCM is the opportunity to do strategic missions and enjoy a faith building camp experience during the same week... and it is something that many senior high students and collegians have been looking for. Adult leaders have a key role in the mission work of the week too.

The mission work begins each morning and continues until lunch followed by debriefing from the morning's ministry and brief preparation for the following day. Mission Campers will enjoy all of the great LFR recreation options each afternoon, as well as the evening worship and fellowship activities that are distinctive of LFR summer camp.

Bill Reif, a popular speaker at LFR for the last 25+ years, will return for the fifth consecutive year as our MCM speaker and "head coach". At the end of the week on Friday night there will be a fantastic city-wide event called "Camp Macon Family Night". In 2004, Family Night reached out to over 500 people since doubling to over 1000 local residents.

Sports Camp

Teenage Day Campers (ages 12-18) are bussed from Macon to LFR each morning. Mission Campers, assisted by the LFR Staff, serve as team captains who lead their teams during all sports events and who share the gospel with their team during the week.

Kid's Camp

Kids campers (ages 8-11) come to one of several different church locations each morning. Mission Campers serve as leaders, and LFR staff members serve as directors of the Kids Camps. Macon churches provide support leadership and follow-up after the week.

Work Camp

Several teams of about 8 Mission Campers and LFR Staff go out each morning to serve the community and needy individuals in Macon through various work projects.

Mission | Camp Macon Family Night

At the end of the week, the community joins the LFR Staff and Mission Campers for a special night of awards, worship, testimonies, a slide show, and fun at the Noxubee County High School gym.
