Why Heartland is One of the Best Christian Camps to Work At:
“This work and living in community together is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to what I believe Jesus had hoped for us. It is a holy place where heaven meets earth just for a few months. You don’t want to miss it. You will be changed forever.”
— Andrea
“I have seen God work in my heart to give me more of a servant's heart! This used to not be true, but I have grown to LOVE serving others and throwing my energy into helping people when they need it.”
— Jessica
“I have done things I never saw myself doing, like getting certified to facilitate the high ropes, surviving the wilderness (and enjoying it), and jumping off a thirty-six-foot pole. Each week God calls me to trust Him more and to trust those around me. Step out of fear and into faith.”
