When you're a preteen it is such an exciting & wonderful time of life so we at KFN Preteen Impact have created a camp specifically for YOU! It's an environment where you will participate in crazy games, team activities, powerful worship sessions, anointed guest speakers and more! Come see what God has to share with you this summer! Registration for 2020 opening soon.
Check out a recap from last summer!
The theme for 2020 is RADIATE! As we walk through life, we Radiate His light and His presence to those around us. Join us as we go in depth through activities, relationships, worship and most importantly, spending time in the presence of our Father God.
Friends
This is a place where you will find some forever friends, peers and counselors who will not just spend time with you, but love you like Jesus does.
Worship
There is no better place to be than in the center of God's attention. Through worship and the teaching of the Word, you will experience God like never before.
Ministry
We have selected anointed speakers called by God to minister in powerful and practical ways. Your preteens will be forever impacted by the ministry they receive.
Fun
We believe that camp should be wild and crazy. Through high action games and exciting activities, we aim at creating an unforgettable experience.
Jade De Kelaita
With a life given to the red-letter text of God’s Word, Jade De Kelaita’s heart has been stolen by the world’s rejected – the orphan, the widow, the poor, the prisoner, the homeless, the sick, and the forgotten. The presence of God she carries has opened doors for her to speak nationally and internationally in prisons, schools, universities, nursing homes, under bridges, and in churches. Jade spent over two months in Africa in the fall of 2016 under Heidi Baker’s ministry, IRIS Global – Harvest School where, through brokenness, she discovered one must go to the lowest to reach the highest, die to live, and surrender to win the war of Love. Jade has an M.A. in Strategic Communication, but she knows no level of education can ever qualify her for God’s work. He chooses, and He qualifies.
