Why camp this summer?
Students’ lives are changed at camp! Students meet Christ and are eternally changed. Students learn more about Christ and become a disciple. Students then go back to their communities and campuses in the fall and make a difference, reaching friends, serving their community, meeting needs. Camp changes lives!
What is camp?
Camp is Bible study, worship experiences, recreation, relationships, memories, and the best place for your students this summer!
What’s the difference between the camps? That’s a great question…. This summer, there will be two different camps that take place over two and a half weeks.
HIGH PURSUIT, July 5-7, 2012, is a camp designed for volunteer or bi-vocational youth leaders who perhaps can’t take an entire week off and bring their students to camp. The schedule is shorter – Thursday through Saturday – but will have the same PUNCH and IMPACT as the full week.
CLEAR Weeks 1 and 2 are Monday – Friday, July 9-13, 2012 or July 16-20, 2012. It’s a full week of Bible study, recreation, worship. See the schedules for more information.
What is SEVEN?
Seven…to the Lord, Seven is a very special number- one of His favorite! Seven is so full of meaning to Him, and for us. Seven isn't just another number picked from the millions of gazillions of numbers out there…Seven to God represents Perfection & Completeness!!
Ps. 18:31 "as for God...his way is perfect."
During camp this summer you will get the opportunity to explore all of the amazing 7's we take for granted daily like…
…mans pulse beats on the "7 day principle", there are 7 days in a week, 7 colors in the spectrum of the rainbow, there were 7 old testament covenants (or promises) made by God to certain men, 7 examples of who Jesus was saying "I am" to describe himself, 7 results of disobedience in Proverbs, 7 giants, 7 things Jesus said on the cross before he died, forgiveness is about 7x70, one of our favorites: Jericho’s seven 7s…get the picture? God’s trying to tell us something thru the number 7.
The real question is ME Lord?? Perfect and complete? Some of you are thinking 'no way'!
God wants you to know that He wants to change our lives...but first He wants to change our perspectives!! He DOES love you; He DOES believe in you, He DOES see you in a way that you can't possibly see yourself...perfect and complete...IN HIM!
Joshua 1:9 "do not be afraid...the Lord will be with you where ever you go!"
We are excited to see you this summer!! And more excited to see God change your life!! Get ready!

Frank Vaughn is a follower of Christ, a husband to a beautiful woman, Amy, father and a student of the Word. He has been married for nine years and has one dog, Georgia, an English Bulldog. He loves rainbow sherbert and ranch dressing, although never together. Really, Frank is a guy that laughs a lot and sometimes plays too much, but most of all loves students, and the God who created them!
209 ( 2-oh-9) is the evangelistic ministry of Frank Vaughn. It was birthed by a desire to see students not just challenged by God's Word, but changed by His words. We want to raise up a generation that is passionate about God and His purpose for our lives. We aren't looking for a set of emotional responses; we want to see people make drastic changes to follow God! We firmly believe that decisions aren't made in churches or at altars but in each individual heart. God has used Frank to break down the barriers of students’ hearts for the past seven years. Frank is the youth pastor at First Baptist Church in LaGrange, Georgia. We’re thrilled to have Frank back for a second time at Clear Camp!
