First and foremost, Illuminate’s mission is to bring glory to God by offering an excellent summer camp for students that provide opportunities for them to grow closer to God and learn the importance of mission work and service. Our name, Illuminate, comes from Jesus’ statement found in Matthew 5:16, which reads,
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (ESV).
Just prior to this, Jesus says to his audience, “You are the salt of the earth,” which, among other things, suggests we are to preserve, or care for, the world around us. As followers of Jesus, we are to be His image in this world; to do as He did, speak as He spoke, love as He loved. At Illuminate, you have the opportunity to do just that.
