Chair of the Executive Committee Letter
Dear Friends of Faith Bible Camp,
As we look back on the Summer of 2023, there is much to thank God for. 520 campers enjoyed FBC while coming under the sound of the Gospel this past July and August. This summer also saw 190 volunteers take time to serve the Lord at Camp. Amongst these volunteers were a record 17 participants in the Leadership in Training program led by John and Teresa Nicolas. Having so many volunteers and seeing many young believers seek to live out their faith by serving at FBC is a tremendous encouragement.
2023 was also a summer of transition for FBC leadership as we saw Andrew Hayes take on the role of General Manager and Josh and Leah Klassen the role of Site Manager. Please pray for the Executive committee as we look to plan effectively for the 2024 camp season- FBC's 70th summer!
As we plan for next summer, we also seek to implement a long-term vision for the site. Praise the Lord that the Kitchen and Dining Hall mortgage has now been off! This coming summer's projects include the construction of the final duplex on the Boy's side and pouring a new foundation for staff cabin Daniel. With these projects in mind and a current budget deficit for camp preparation, now is a great time to consider a financial gift to FBC. To do so, please visit faithbiblecamp.org/donations, send a cheque to our Winnipeg office, or send an e-transfer to info@faithbiblecamp.org.
A few upcoming dates to highlight include:
Winter Weekend – February 16-18, 2024

Finally, and most importantly, thank you for continually remembering Faith Bible Camp in your prayers. "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective" (James 5:16 NASB). Camp's important ministry is made powerful and effective by your support in prayer.
Thanks very much. Merry Christmas to you and your families.
