“Fight the good fight…”
-1 Timothy 6:12
About Gideon Warriors
The enemy is alive and well…
The battle is raging…
And young men are often either engrossed in the pleasures of this world, or are wearing spiritual “flip-flops”, leaving them unprepared and defenseless against the attacks of the world, the flesh, and the devil.
When God called Gideon to lead the Israelites against the much larger Midianite army, He first weeded out all those unfit for the battle: first sending home those who were fearful or afraid, and then selecting a mere 300 from the remaining group to be the ones who would join Gideon in facilitating God’s victory over Midian.
The purpose of Gideon Warriors Camp is to encourage young men through fellowship, challenge them through Biblical teaching and physical activity, and equip them through discipleship and prayer to be godly men that God will use as mighty warriors for His Kingdom!
“But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” ~1 Timothy 6:11-12
“And the Angel of the Lord appeared to [Gideon], and said to him, ‘The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!’” ~Judges 6:12
