When I attended Soul Camp, all I knew was that I HAD to be in the room, I was OPEN, and I was EXPECTING for God to meet me there. I had no idea that the draw was the Father calling me by name to encounter freedom in Him that I didn't know I needed. Though I've been saved for as long as I can remember, at Soul Camp was where I experienced life-changing deep healing within my soul, renewal of my mind, clarity, freedom, and new depths of the love of the Father who knows every part of me and WANTS to heal, redeem, and restore not only every part of me, but every part of my journey through life - good, bad, and all of the in between. 

Come open. Find Freedom

When I went to my first Soul Camp, I set a boundary with my mom, who attended with me: we were there strictly to focus on our individual relationships with God. I didn't realize how much I needed it until the second day. During worship, as we sang about God's love, I completely broke down—I realized I couldn't bring myself to say that He loved me.

The ministry leaders stepped in and helped me uncover a deep-rooted spirit of rejection. That day, I experienced powerful deliverance, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and witnessed firsthand the freedom God provides. It was the weekend that changed everything, opening my heart to truly receive His love.

For years, childhood trauma left me wrestling with deep feelings of rejection and the lie that I wasn't enough. I didn't realize how heavily this script was impacting my life and business until my second Soul Camp.

Through sharing my story and receiving deliverance, God gave me the tools to identify the voice of rejection and maintain my freedom. Just a week later, that freedom was tested when a massive $25,000 national business grant opportunity came my way. In the past, past disappointments would have made me count myself out. Instead, I applied with confidence and won! The 'Breakthrough Grant' was financial provision, but more importantly, it was proof that God had broken rejection's influence over my future.

After my father passed away when I was 17, I was made to feel like I shouldn't be upset by his death. I learned to tell everyone I was 'fine,' but underneath, I was carrying intense grief that eventually turned into deep-seated anger.

At the Soul Camp Reunion, God gently brought this to the surface and showed me that I was allowed to grieve. In a safe, supportive environment, I finally cried the tears I had held back for years. It was painful, but incredibly freeing. Soul Camp gave me the permission to admit I wasn't okay, releasing a weight I had carried since childhood and bringing true healing to my soul.

There are almost no words to fully describe the Soul Camp experience. I had no idea what to expect when I walked in. I was so nervous and to be honest a little scared because I knew there were some hard things I would finally have to face. I had been carrying so much heaviness and trauma on my own for so long but deep down I knew this was a going to be a life changing experience that I desperately needed. 
 
One of my biggest takeaways from Soul Camp is that it was truly a safe place. It was safe to share, safe to cry, safe to release everything I had been holding onto and safe in the hands and arms of our elders. The Soul Camp team took such great care of us. They genuinly cared about our souls and well-being and that made the weekend so special. When I finally surrendered everything  to God and chose to forgive I experienced true freedom. I was filled with the Holy Spirit and received my Heavenly language. Since then I've been living with a level of joy and peace that I had never experienced before. Soul Camp changed my life and I truly believe that once you experience that kind of freedom you will never be the same. Being free feels so good! 

Last year, I attended Soul Camp, and it was truly life changing for me. During Soul Camp, I saw myself in a way I had never seen before. It was like I could see the old version of me (the broken, bruised, and weary) me walking away. I did not leave the same way I came. I left feeling transformed. Immediately after Soul Camp, something shifted in me. I began getting into my Bible daily, not out of routine or obligation, but from a real desire to know God more. I stopped putting a time limit on my time with Him. I simply wanted to sit with Him, read His Word, and grow closer to Him. What I am most thankful for is that I left Soul Camp with a real relationship with God, not just religion. For so many years, I knew how to “do church,” but Soul Camp helped me experience God personally. Without a shadow of a doubt, I know Him for myself. Soul Camp was a turning point in my life, and I am forever grateful for what God did in me there.
