MISSION ON THE HOMEFRONT!

Antioch Baptist Church sent a work crew to the Lake Springfield Baptist Camp Grounds for their annual "clean the grounds" day.  Twelve workers from Antioch made the two hour trip to Springfield to the camp where Antioch Youth Camp will be held June 16 to 21st.  In all there were approximately 100 workers from multiple states working at the camp.  Cleaning cabins, checking air conditioners, lighting water heaters, power washing shower houses, washing windows, raking and bagging leaves, etc.

In June we expect to host 100+ campers from Oakland, Charleston, Kansas, Ashmore, St. Joe and surrounding areas in central Illinois.  Every year since 1967 a small group of Baptist Churches from the Oakland, Charleston, Ashmore area have gathered for a week long youth camp.  To teach, share, grow, train and just plain have some fun as we learn more about God's word and His plan for our future.

Mission fields aren't always across an ocean sometimes their in your own back yard.

After a hard day of working the best thing you can do for the 9 & 10 year old that worked very hard all day is take them to Scheels so they could ride the farris wheel.  Grandma stayed on the ground for this one.
