Student Life #1: June 3-7
Student Life #2: June 24-28

The Christian life isn't easy and some would say it shouldn't be. So how do your students look at their Christian life —a chore or a challenge? A journey or a destination? We want to help your students live a bold life without boundaries, not just to be seen, but bold because they serve a God who is bold, a God who sees what they can become. They do that by being on guard, standing firm in the faith, being courageous, being bold and being audacious.

It is so easy, even for Christians, to be deceived by the things of this world. Only the Light of Christ brings us out of darkness and enables us to walk in the freedom of truth. This year, we are seeking to remove any blinders from our eyes, to move forward with a renewed passion and walk confidently from a position based solely on the Word of God. The teachings of Master Illusionist Harris III will incorporate illusions that are sure to captivate and transform your students. During AREA1:camps we will challenge students to start a relationship with Jesus Christ, if they do not have one. We also work to create opportunities for you and your youth team to minister to your students. Should you be short on adult volunteers to pray with your students the AreaOne staff will be available to support you.

On a hillside thousands of years ago, a rabbi spoke words that are still as radical today as they were the day they were delivered. Be perfect. Love your enemies. The meek will rule the world. MOVE 2012 will bring the Sermon on the Mount to life and examine these words that changed everything. It's where the rabbi becomes a king. It's where his followers become new people.

The Feast of Tabernacles (Feast of Sukkot or Feast of Booths) is an eight-day Judeo-Christian festival (the Season of Our Joy) that pictures the establishment of the 1,000-year messianic kingdom to be set up at the Second Coming of Yeshua the Messiah (Christ). It is one of the three pilgrimage festivals God gave the children of Israel in the Bible (Leviticus 23). The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot Booths) is like a rehearsal looking forward to that day when the King of Kings rules his people from Jerusalem and each nation goes up to celebrate it (Zechariah 14:16).
