Basecamp 2022: The Year of Jubilee

The power of God is mighty to save! Basecamp 2022: The Year of Jubilee gave way for this Truth to be on display through God saving kids from enemy hooks of sin, bringing release from deep places of hurt and grief, and speaking words of destiny and purpose.

 

It began with an incredible team of surrendered ministers from all over: Justin Dunn, from Atlanta, GA, lead the worship team every session;  Kaneesha Thomas (CEO and Founder at Live Him Ministries), and Corey Landry flew in from in Chicago, IL; Weslea Pierson, friend and pastor from our sister church in Carmel, ME; Jaymz Sideras, EDM artist, revivalist, and evangelist based out of Boston; and our very own Josiah Armstrong all brought The Word that separates bone from marrow and sets people free.

 

The youth came with hunger in their hearts for more of Jesus.  Some rally’s lasted four to five hours, the Spirit of God encountering souls who were ready, open, and willing. Throughout the weekend, the teens would be reminded and challenged to think about what it is that God loves about them.  Everyone wanted to partake in the overflow of loving abundance God had to offer, learning how Love casts out all fear.

 

Lindsey Messina, a recent Youthstorm Intern Graduate, brought some of her kids from Austin 17 House, located in Brentwood, New Hampshire. Some of these kids had never encountered the Spirit of the Living God, but Lindsey testified Sunday that giving these kids an encounter with God transformed them. “It was life changing; their lives will never be the same.”

 

“Jubilee” – Freedom!  Your debt has been paid in full!   In the Bible, it is represented by the number fifty. This year, around FIFTY campers attended experiencing God’s deep Love and Freedom.

 

Receiving God’s Love was only the beginning as each wave of His Spirit came in greater measure. Each rally built upon the last, culminating into a church service on Sunday where Kaneesha Thomas ministered to the Crossing Life body, encouraging us that “abundance is coming.”

 

The nature of our God is that He is deep and giving to those who are willing and ready. In order to be ready, we must be willing to go deep and let what is killing the deep roots be destroyed so that better soil can produce and let what needs to grow up be seen. The only possible way to do this is to be so enfolded in the love of God that nothing can deter you from the things He has for you.

 

Campers and Crossing congregation alike were encouraged to remember it is through the power of using our tongues and speaking the Truth that restoration, revival, and abundance comes, and it is here!
