Radical Camp & Leadership Institute - Mexico

Putting in roads at the Radical Property.

Radical Camp starts on Monday! We are excited about what God will do in the lives of young people from all over Mexico during the next week. Thank you for continuing to pray with us for property where we can expand this ministry, reach more youth, and train them to do church planting and discipleship.

We start Radical 2018 in just 12 days. Appreciate your prayers that many campers would meet Jesus for the first time, and that others would give their lives to serve Him full time.

Radical is full for 2018 and we're still more than a month out! We definitely need our own property, so we can put on more weeks and reach more youth for Christ. :)

Ha sido muchísima la respuesta, y lamentamos informarles que ya no tenemos espacios disponibles para camperos en Radical Elévate 2018. Hoy empezamos con una lista de espera. Si quieres que te anotemos en la lista, por si algún campero llegara a cancelar, manda tu nombre completo por inbox o mensaje de Whatsapp al 322 132 3084.

We're still a month and a half out, and our week of intense youth discipleship at Radical Camp is already at capacity! How we pray God will soon provide us with land so we can expand to multiple weeks of camp, as well as start a year-round leadership training and church planting center!

We hit $50,000 this month! Thank you so much for your ongoing prayers for property for this exciting youth and leadership training ministry God is leading Frank and Rebecca into.

At this point it looks like we have ten young people coming from the States to help us with Radical Youth Camp (Campamento Radical) this summer, August 6-11. If this is something you would be interested in joining, please let us know! God continues to move us forward...

Q: What is difference between what you have done with Radical and the new camp? A: every summer F&R partner with other churches to run a camp for youth called Radical. Kids come from around Mexico, many with their church’s leaders. They have a really intense time with Jesus and then they go back home. With a permanent camp location in the future, we will be able to hold camps regularly, hold year long training and Bible classes and really help these youth stand strong and make a difference all across Mexico!

Thanks to your amazing generosity, we received funds which will be applied towards land to build the library, two staff rooms, four shower areas, a volleyball court, the bonfire and green areas. We are hoping to raise enough to be able to make an offer on the property in the next few months! If you would like to join the fun and find it easy donating online, please follow these steps. Go to www.fim.org, and click your way towards the Arellanes Property Purchase Fund. Blessings!!

Meet our team! These are the wonderful Mexican pastors and leaders we are partnering with in Radical. We just spent two full days of leadership training in Guadalajara, meeting with pastors/leaders from 14 churches and around 40 potential youth leaders. Thank you for your prayers as we move forward!

On Tuesday we went for the third time to look at the piece of property we're praying to purchase for Radical. God has already provided a little over half of what we need for the 6.5-acre plot. We were feeling faith-FULL this morning so we went to pick up 30 free trees that we'll plant as soon as God gives us the green light. Please notice Frank's "green thumb". 😆 Thank you for standing with us!

Thank you for your ongoing prayers for the purchase of property for camp and Bible Institute. God is answering! On top of what we had previously reported, we have now received funds for property to build four more cabins, the kitchen, 1 office, a team bunkroom, 1 staff home, the auditorium, parking for 15 cars, 10 showers, and a second classroom, as well. You are part of the miracle!
