"John Welborn is an outstanding young evangelist with a heart for the next generation. I heartily endorse his Foundation Camps as a place where teenagers can encounter God in a fresh and exciting way."
James Merritt

One of the most significant times of growth in the life of many young people comes during a week of camp. This is only true however when the youth camp features outstanding, biblical preaching and focuses on challenging students to greatness for Jesus. That is exactly what students will receive at the Foundation Camp!
Dr. Alvin Reid, Author & Speaker, Wake Forest, North Carolina

“John Welborn and Foundation Camp are kickin’ it for Jesus”

"John Welborn is a young man with a passion for Christ. He has a keen mind, burning heart, and a servant spirit. Each time I have been around him I have been impressed with his strength of character and his commitment to excellence in ministry. I am excited about his youth camps and encourage pastors to check them out. I promise you they will be well planned and true to the Word. John Welborn is a winner.!"

Stories

Below are a few e-mails from youth workers who attended a Foundation summer event, their stories are amazing!

I just wanted to write you and tell you how things are going at our church in regards to my students. I have seen such a change in the hearts and lives of my students….The students are beginning to see their role in ministry. Jesus is working in their lives and giving them visions of works and rewards. They are more excited than I’ve seen them and my heart is overwhelmed as I watch them in their interaction with one another, their ministry to each other, our church and our community. For the first time, they are reaching out past the four walls of our student center and bringing in other students...not simply to participate in activities, but using that opportunity to tell them about Jesus. Zach has publicly surrendered to God’s call on his life in the area of student ministry and we are discussing putting him on staff part time with me for a while…while he prepares to enroll into TN. Temple....I do not believe that this is a “camp high”. I have been praying and I believe that God has done what He promised and is beginning a new work in all of our lives. I’ve got a student who was in such turmoil, so angry and bitter. He is addicted to pornography and seemed to be an outcast among all the students. To be honest, I have been dreading for 2 years even the thought of him coming into the youth group. But, this year at Foundation Camp ’07, he was radically saved. He has confessed his addiction to his peers and his parents. He is such a sweet young man and is beginning to participate in our student activities with all the other students. Praise God! I’ve got another student, 14 y/o, addicted to the same and into a few other things. He has also confessed to his parents and has asked them for help after being saved at Foundation Camp. Students are now meeting during the week (not on Wednesdays) and praying for each other and for the ones that aren’t committed or saved. Some are changing their MySpace sites to reflect their love for Christ and what they believe as Christians. There is still a long way to go, but I’m looking forward to seeing what God is going to do next. I wanted to give you an idea of what is going on as a direct result of Foundation Camp. - Ken Collier, Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Signal Mountain, TN

“I don’t know who this camp was REALLY for, the youth or myself as a leader. This camp changed my life. It strengthened my walk, making me totally surrender for the very first time…there is a hunger and a passion now which has never been there before.” - Carol Clark, Peace Baptist Church in Whiteville, NC
