God has commissioned us to bring the gospel to the nations and Camp David International is doing that through camping ministry.
The power of camp ministry is the community that is created in a week- a place to be silly, have fun, laugh, cry, and share your stories. No matter what food you eat or what language you speak, when you feel like you belong, you can open your heart to understand God more. This is how transformation begins around the world- reversing the cycle of crime and setting captives free from the power of darkness.
Camp David International began in 2017 with our first International camp in Uganda, Africa. The camp impacted the lives of 120 children of prisoners ages 4 to 18, and was such a tremendous blessing both to the ministry we partnered with and our Camp David team, that we knew we wanted to do this again! Since then, God has been opening doors and connecting us to other ministries around the world who are serving children of prisoners and other very at-risk children.
August 7-17, 2025 – Uganda, Africa.
We are excited to invite you to join us in bringing love and hope in Uganda, Africa! We are partnering with Wells of Hope in Uganda, as a team serving under Camp David International and Jewel Warriors.
This trip Mercedes Bailey-Rhodes will be leading two ministry opportunities:
1. Camp David Uganda- Opportunities to serve at the camp in support roles and medical outreach. Together we will love the children and encourage the national leaders and give lots of smiles and hugs.
2. Jewel Warrior Prison Ministry- Before the camp, the women on our team will serve at the first women’s prison conference. Here we will share the love and hope in Jesus. We will empower and remind the incarcerated women that they are still loved and valued despite their circumstances. The men in our group will join Wells of Hope in doing prison ministry and touring some of their ministries.
