Contributing to the Ministry of Camp Tejas
C
amp Tejas has been richly blessed over the
past 25 years with churches and schools
using the facility as a secluded place of study,
fellowship, and rest. This ministry could not
operate without the willingness of groups to
pay for their stay. These fees are crucial in
maintaining our current operations and after
25 years we believe a new generation of families is ready to be served. We need help preparing for the new generation and our belief
is that we will ?nd partners in ministry among
those guests who have come to Camp Tejas in
the past and are coming in the present.
Over the next several years you will hear
and see the words, “Deepening the Impact:
In Lives of Many for Generations to Come”.
These words were used to launch a campaign for a beautiful new swimming pool
complex. However, Deepening the Impact
is more than raising money for a swimming
pool. This is a long-term campaign to raise
prayer, volunteer, and ?nancial support for
the ministries of Camp Tejas. The “impact”
will be the thousands of new lives changed
by God through the ministry of Camp Tejas. A vision of service has been given to the

Volunteers

Tejas board and staff and we need individuals, churches, families, and other organizations involved in our next 25 years of ministry. The Tejas staff and board were called
to serve and support Camp Tejas because of
the impact this ministry had on our lives and
the lives of our family and churches. We are
now being called to share the abundant opportunities of service that God is providing
at Camp Tejas. We pray that you will answer
the same call we did and join us in service at
Camp Tejas. Please contact us or go online to
