RETREAT SEASON
A PLACE FOR DISCIPLESHIP
By Paul Biles - Retreat Director
E
phesians 4:12-13 says, “to prepare
God’s people for works of service, so
that the body of Christ may be built
up until we all reach unity in the faith and
in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” Those verses
de?ne discipleship and discipleship is the
main focus of all the guests who come to
Camp Tejas. Camp Tejas provides an opportunity to be removed from daily life and
to focus on Him. This past year, more than
7,000 retreat guests have come through
our gates to be refreshed in their zeal for
Christ and then take it home and share
with others.
Ladies groups come and women have
the opportunity to share and grow togeth-
er without the daily distractions of family
and work. Men have “Man Camp” where
they bond by the camp ?re and learn to
lead their families by Christ’s example.
Children enjoy the recreational activities and are given the opportunity to hear
about Christ’s love and His desire for them
to commit their lives to Christ. These are
a few examples of various types of retreat
groups that come to Camp Tejas and how
they are being discipled in an environment
created to focus on God.
Consider bringing your group out to
Camp Tejas for a time to learn about
Christ, grow spiritually, and build relationships.
The retreat season is from mid-August to mid-May. For most of
this time, the camp is open to Christian organizations, churches, and individuals as a place to get away from their everyday schedule and strengthen their walk with God. We welcome
guests every day of the week.
