Strategy

Focus On Building Up The (Indigenous) Church

    The ministry of Children’s Camps International is about assisting vibrant indigenous churches to attain healthy and sustainable growth. CCI strives to mobilize churches with effective tools to reach their communities with the gospel.

Focus On Training Dynamic Leaders

    CCI places priority in training leaders that will continue to train other leaders. This ministry will be most successful when it can easily, efficiently and effectively be reproduced by the indigenous church. For this reason the objective of the CCI training effort is to encourage the early or immediate indigenous leadership of camping programs.

Focus On Reaching Out To Children

    Statistically most people who choose to follow Christ make this decision before they are 18 years old. For this reason CCI sets a priority in reaching children for Christ. In addition CCI believes the relational approach of camping programs is an effective way to invest in building future leaders. CCI believes it is never too early to build leadership qualities into youth. CCI also is convinced that many of these campers will grow up to become pastors, evangelists, missionaries and dedicated Christian labourers who will effectively build the kingdom of Christ.

Focus On A Solid Follow Up Effort

    CCI supports the work of disciple making not just convert making. Each camper that hears the gospel at a sponsored camp will be supported by a sponsored church weekly follow up program.

Focus On Financial Responsibility

    CCI operates on a firm foundation of integrity and cost effectiveness in operations. For this reason CCI strives toward:

    Complete financial accountability – The resources entrusted to the ministry of CCI will always be treated as God’s resources. For this reason each dollar will be accounted for and this information is available upon request. 

    Minimal administrative expense – This ministry is most effective when the resources are put to use in the mission field. For this reason CCI makes every effort to minimize administrative expenses. Currently less than 9% of the general donated budget will be used for the administrative costs developing and promoting this ministry.

    Minimal capital investment – Where CCI will pursue the use of appropriate facilities to accommodate an effective camping program CCI does not make a priority in investing resources in facilities that require large initial and continuing maintenance expenses.
