Topic
Imagine building a boat in the middle of a field – miles from the ocean – while trying to convince onlookers that God is going to send a flood that will destroy the world as they know it! That was Noah’s life for 80 long years! We can only imagine the mockery and taunts he must have faced, and the attempts of friends to bring him back to his senses.
Humanity had turned from God, the broad way had eclipsed the narrow, and the Truth itself was threatened with extinction. And so, in the days of Noah, the Creator chose to act, bringing catastrophic judgements upon all who scoffed His warning.
The story of Noah is, therefore, the story of the most incredible transformation this globe has undertaken in the history of mankind. Yet it is also the story of the extraordinary faith of one man – a man who saw beyond his years; beyond the humanly possible – to believe that the world as he knew it would not continue forever.
And so, in the account of this man’s life, we have both a remarkable tale of extraordinary events, and the inspiring example of a man who believed in his God, and who chose to ‘walk with God’ in a godless world.
Camp Preparation
The goal of Wilderness Camp is to allow the characters of scripture to come alive and inspire us to live godly lives in preparation for Christ's return. To help achieve this, this year's camp involves a personal commitment by each attendee to study Noah. The camp itself will be structured around interactive workshops and discussion groups where we will explore the practical lessons for our day, so the success of the camp relies upon the preparation of each attendee.
Our aim is to provide a supportive and encouraging framework to help all young people feel inspired to study the Word, and to that end each attendee will be involved in an engaging program of preparatory activities.
What does this mean for me?
As an attendee at Wilderness Camp, you are expected to:
-
Attend the Launch Workshop to be held early 2027 (this will also be accessible online for interstate/overseas attendees).
-
Study Noah using the Camp Notes, as well as any other materials you may like to use.
-
Mark your study into your Bible before the camp.
This is intended to be an achievable and rewarding study and we trust you will find it a very reasonable goal if you put time aside regularly for your study. We request that you complete your study if you would like to attend the camp. Please get in touch with us early if you would like any assistance planning how you can complete the study.
