What is an English Camp?

  • The English Camp is a missionary ministry that spreads the Gospel through programs that teach English to soldiers and military families in countries that do not speak English as their first language.

Vision and Status

Just as the first fruits of Gentile missions were produced through Cornelius’s family, it is a very biblical special mission to spread the Gospel through the armies of all nations. The English Camp’s vision is to establish a contact point for mission through English education to the soldiers of non-English speaking countries, and to spread the Gospel to establish a Military Christian Fellowship (MCF) in the military of all countries around the world.
