Now in its 26th year, Clayton King Ministries’ Crossroads Summer Camp just finished the first of its five weeks on the Anderson University campus by celebrating 170 professions of faith for salvation.
The mission of Crossroads Summer Camp is to reach students with the gospel, help them understand God’s Word and give them the tools to live it out daily. Founded by Clayton and Sharie King, Crossroads takes place over the course of five weeks each summer on the campus of Anderson University, which is a proud partner with Clayton King Ministries.
“By God’s grace, we’ve served more than 100,000 students over the last quarter century,” said Rev. Clayton King. “What began in my college dorm room has become a servant of the local church: We want to help pastors and student ministers preach the gospel and make disciples. This was our best ‘first week’ of camp in our history. People are hungry for truth, for community and for the gospel. We saw that first hand this past week.”
More than 900 people representing 28 churches around the region attended Crossroads for its first week of activities. In addition to the 170 salvation decisions, 68 students and/or adults answered a call to ministry. Finally, attendees raised more than $9,000 to support mission work and sponsored 50 children through Compassion International.
Four weeks of Crossroads Summer Camp sessions remain on the Anderson University campus.
