Jesus People Campout is a throwback to the revival that swept across America during the Summer of Love. Hippies, inspired by Jesus' teachings on peace and love, left drugs and other addictions behind for a higher calling. Today the revival continues as the Holy Spirit makes waves in today's generation. Come celebrate with us as we sing, dance, and celebrate God’s love at Jesus People Campout this July 21 - 23 in Trufant, MI.

THE JESUS MOVEMENT RETURNS
|
Of all that came out of the hippie era, perhaps none was more unexpected than the Jesus Movement. Hippies were transformed by the Word of God into preachers, worship leaders, and agents of redemption. Half a century later, the counter-cultural movement continues…
What is the Jesus Movement? The Jesus Movement is the ongoing community of people who center their lives on Jesus and follow him into relationship with God, each other, and creation. Together, we follow Jesus as we love God with our whole heart and love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:36-40). |

Jesus can be said to be the original hippie. He launched this movement when he welcomed the first disciples to follow his loving, liberating, and life-giving Way. Today, we participate in his movement with our whole lives: our prayer, worship, teaching, gathering, work, play, and rest.
In all things, we seek to be loving, liberating, and life-giving — just like God who formed all things in love liberates us all from prisons of mind, body, and spirit; and gives life so we can participate in the resurrection and healing of God’s world. |

TRY THIS: Begin your day by asking: How could my words, actions and heart reflect the loving, liberating, life-giving way of Jesus? Ask God to help you, especially at decision points.
At day’s end, with genuine curiosity and zero judgment, ask: When did I see myself or others being loving, liberating or life-giving today? Where do I wish I’d seen or practiced Jesus’ Way?
