Great Commission Update - July 2025
Children’s Camp - God and Fun!
In June, FBC Los Osos led GCA’s annual Children’s Camp, where 33 happy kids spent 4 days at the Santa Barbara Christian Camp to grow their Heart for God. They gathered for worship, swimming, devotion, team building, and other fun stuff for an unforgettable time! From the stories of David in the Bible, the children learned that God chooses each one of them to be His own and is with them through all that life brings because God is their friend and their Shepherd. We praise God for the wonderful Camp where God calls these precious ones to Himself. Until next year!
