We welcome you, not only as our special guests, but as family. Join us October 5–11, 2024!
2024 Theme:
His Way Is Perfect
Through an unexpected and challenging start to 2024, God clarified our Family Camp theme for us—HIS WAY IS PERFECT. It’s been said that “often the thing that causes us to think that God is not at work in our life is the very work that God is doing.” Few of us would choose painful circumstances, but it’s often through hardship that God forges our character and reveals His purposes.
This year has been difficult, but as we continue to take refuge in Christ, it’s been perfect, for the suffering is drawing us closer to His heart and His ways.
“As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” Psalm 18:30

Speakers
Our CAMP SPEAKERS love God and love people. You won’t want to miss their inspiring, Christ-centered messages. Our past Family Camp messages are also available to purchase or stream through embassymedia.com.
Emeal (“E.Z.”) Zwayne
Emeal (“E.Z.”) Zwayne is the President of Living Waters, the official spokesman for the National Bible Bee organization, and a cohost of the National Bible Bee Game Show. He serves as an Executive Producer of the Way of the Master television program and all Living Waters films. A dynamic communicator, he speaks at conferences and churches nationally and around the world. E.Z. served as an associate pastor for several years. He and his wife, Rachel, have five children.
Caleb Reed
Caleb Reed was born and raised in Maine as one of eight children. After high school, he attended the ALERT Academy in 2010, where the Lord started him on a path of surrender. He went to Bible college in Wisconsin, where God called him to preach. Caleb and his wife Emma have three children. The Reeds launched into itinerate evangelism in 2020 and travel full-time preaching for revival in churches, camps, and Christian schools.
Rick Warner
Capt. Warner has been working alongside our ministry since 2014. With a heart for discipleship and a boldness that remains undaunted after 20 years in Mongolia as a missionary, Capt. Warner actively engages our community with the Gospel and encourages those around him into a deeper relationship with Christ—often using archery to illustrate concepts, or recalling profound life experiences from the past. If you catch him in a free moment, you’ll most likely find him scouting the lake in a canoe, spending time with his family, or in a meaningful conversation with a new friend.
Duane Blue
Duane left school in rebellion and rejection; drugs consumed his life. With no regard for others, he verbally and mentally mistreated his mother until he found her a victim of suicide. Stricken with grief, Duane hid behind a “tough guy” exterior despite his fear, loneliness, and guilt. Providentially, a stranger introduced him to Jesus and invited Duane to spend Christmas with his family. A month later, he surrendered to Jesus Christ. Duane and his wife Iris are passionate about sharing the gospel and the abundant life in Christ Jesus. They have both been Mission Service Corps Volunteers since the 1980s.
Dr. Aaron Baker
Dr. Aaron W. Baker has been in the ministry for over 25 years, serving on staff at churches in Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi while assisting missionaries on four continents. Aaron holds degrees in theology and music and has taught at Bible Colleges in the US and the Philippines. He is currently the Associate Pastor of Central Baptist Church in Hattiesburg, MS. He and his wife Laura have 8 children.
Dr. Lew Sterrett
As a certified youth, marriage, and family counselor, Dr. Lew has a passion for biblical leadership development. Dr. Lew skillfully tames wild horses while illustrating our own spiritual stubbornness and our Master’s kindness to continue drawing us to Himself. Dr. Lew shares his “Sermons on the Mount” across the nation, encouraging and equipping others to surrender to the Master and become effective followers of Christ.
