Testimonials

"Christian camping became my calling after an internship with The Fishermen Trust and the encouragement I received from ICCA. My first ICCA conference, 'The Power of Camp' in Bangalore, opened my eyes to the potential of camping ministry. Since then, each conference has been a source of inspiration, fellowship, and learning, helping me grow in faith and persistence. ICCA has been a steady anchor, guiding me and my team through challenges and successes in our ministry. I thank God for the journey and the support from ICCA."
